Tri Valley  in Pleasanton had their annual picnic on 8/18/18.  I handed out flyer and had several people performing outreach.  Several people are signing up online.  I went to CNCA 06 to give a report.  I announced the Fresno conference coming up and needed rooms to meet room count.  I advised there will be a vote in Fresno to allow Shaun G. to continue as Chairperson of NCCAA.  We need all delegates to come to Fresno to be a voice for their group’s opinion and vote.  I went to San Mateo Unity Day last month and will try to go to Sonoma Unity Day on September 15, 2018.  I am looking for any more Unity Days in the Bay Area to attend.  If you know of a Unity Day coming up or any other large events please let me know.
