People in Action in Thomasville
Saturday, March 24th, District Assembly in Columbus, GASaturday, March 24th, District Assembly in Columbus, GA - We met at a very dark Belk's parking lot, loaded everyone up in a twelve to fifteen passenger van and rolled out promptly 5:30 am on the dot. Lots of conservation on the way, along with sharing a very beautiful rising of the sun. We arrived "safely" about 8:19 am to check in and had a delicious breakfast. The opening joint session under the leadership of Alan Slaughter and breakout sessions, were very informative and thought provoking. President Elect Andre' is ready for 2018-19!
