Webservant I- Everything is going great the meeting schedule is up to date and
all sent announcements have been posted on the blog. Any upcoming
announcements, activities or meeting changes should be emailed to gtowebservant@gmail.com. We would like to thank everyone for their continued support and
I want to apologize for my absence to the committee due to my work schedule. I
want also to apologize to the homegroups and members of GTO for not getting the
May area minutes posted on the website in time for business meetings for some
reason they did not come into my email I'm assuming that they went into
my spam folder and I accidentally deleted them I will contact the Area
secretary to make sure they come into my GTO email address. Any questions let
me know. -Grateful to serve, Dalmus C.
Communication follow-up-
greetings I am grateful to report we have produced an update contact list which
includes quite a few new contacts and will continue to grow. However, not many
of the contacts have been followed up with. It is time to organize a schedule
day and visit these contacts. The new contacts have been phoned and will know
who we are when we do the next schedule day. Grateful to serve, Elijah C.
Schedule distribution coordinator- No schedules have been distributed since last PR
subcommittee. A new schedule distributor will be elected soon, I will set a
time with new coordinator to help them transition into this position. If anyone
wants to help or get involved speak with me or come to PR subcommittee.

Flier day coordinator- Not too many updates this month due to convention and the
holiday. The date projected to do a flier day landed on a holiday therefore it
will be rescheduled. Contact was made with advertising department of the
Tidbits newletter and prices were given, but it was noticed that it does seem
to be a slightly faith based newsletter, so i will be talking with a
member with PR experience Tuesday on this issue and see where our fellowship
stands on that. More information will be provided once I gain some insight on
the issue. Other than that all is well and an announcements for the next flier
day will be made soon. Grateful to serve Tasha W.
