Attended the SENY Delegates Day of Sharing at Westchester Community College. The meeting was very helpful and informative regarding the questionnaire. I was able to return to the district and answer questions, as well as provide background information from the study session held at our district meeting. I used that information to inform groups we visited that do not have a GSR. The Hispanic Groups Assembly was held on Sunday, March 15, in Middletown. The meeting went well, and there is not much new to report at this time.
The planning committees for the June Share Day and the Hispanic Convention are working hard to spread the word and gather member and group contributions for these events. At the district and community level, there is not much activity beyond distributing the questionnaire to groups.
