Assembly Notes:
Gwen M., the OIAA Chair, will be running the Assembly meeting. Our Trustee at Large, Madeline P., is our Parliamentarian. She will be responsible for addressing any questions or matters that arise regarding the order of conducting business during the meeting. Please be respectful of everyone present and remember that our 1st Tradition tells us that unity is our most precious quality. We need to always put our personal desires and ambitions aside whenever these could threaten the group. Love and tolerance of others is our code.
