Monday, Dec 16th 7:00p to 8:30p
The CDT Co-Liaisons and Health Care Co-Captains would like to build on our recent success of the November 4 GBIO ACtion by bringing the congregation up-to-date on the recent accomplishments and the plans for the next phases of the Health Care Reform campaign. They are also asking for ideas on how to expand the “team effort” that went into making our quota for the GBIO Assembly. If you attended the recent Member’s Meeting, you also know about the focus on better communications on all congregation activities. GBIO wants to help lead that effort. -
