Dist. 8C Mtg.
Feb.15,2014
Greetings to all. Thank you all for making the effort and commitment in attending
today Dist. Mtg.
As for my report for todays mtg the main item is my attending the SWTA 68
Winter Workshop this past month, held from Jan.1L-L3 in New Braunfels. Am
happy to report that everything went very well, and had a great and informative
weekend. Also like to say thank you to Dist. 2 for hosting and doing a great job,
the hospitality room was located on the 3'd floor, so for me that kind of deterred
me a little from really attending, but I did make one visit there to check it out. As
for the parking, that was a little congested and you had to look for your spot, as
the attendance was high, but overall the hotel was good.
I chose not to stay there due to price and no pet policy, my wife Anna attended
also and we could not find a sitter for our 551b. pitbull named Kryptonite so he
had to come as well. 5o we stayed at a La Quinta a few blocks from where the
workshop was, and got a much better and cheaper rate than the Marriot, so I feel
we came out a winner all the way around. And am happy to report that Anna and
Kryptonite really enjoyed the trip as well.
The workshop was filled with very good attendance, very good speakers, and lots
of information through out the entire weekend. Many GSR's were in attendance,
a few for their first time and lots that had been before. A good number of DCM's
also attended as well. I gave my report on the first go around on Sat. morning.
The Area Officers and chairs gave their reports on Sat. morning as well before
everything kicked off. Throughout the weekend workshops were held on GSR,
Pl/CPC,Grapevine,Treatment,Newsletter,Archives,Corrections,Bilingual, DCM
reports were given throughout the weekend as well.
I had the pleasure of attending the PI/CPC, Corrections and Treatments
workshops which I thought were well dsne. Sat. was concluded with a speaker at
8pm and then the raffle afterwards
