Bill 5848, which Bus mentioned to us last month, is regarding magnetic strips for stop lights at intersections. Please make a list of the intersections you have noticed this occurring at and give that list to Vince Consiglio, Eric Eads or Jim Rhoades. When they speak to the representatives they can mention these specific intersections.

RC Report: Congrats Tim on your first full meeting at the table! TC would like to be our “Prayer Man” instead of Chaplain (to be religiously correct). He does a great job and enjoys it! Pray on, Prayer Man! The appointed positions were announced at the meeting. For a full list of Officers and Appointed positions, please see the table in February’s meeting. I will provide a list for everyone to make it easier as we go through these changes in positions. Tim would like to see the Region become a bit more tech savvy. The Region’s e/mail address is now…. Abateregion20@gmail.com. Tim can be contacted at this e/mail address. He would like to e/mail members that miss the meeting, or members that would like the minutes e/mailed to them. This will help us grow together and keep everyone in the loop. If you would like your e/mail address or contact information added to this list please e/mail audreycoon@gmail.com so I can prepare a list for Tim.

Hope everyone had a great time at Seminar!! xOOx High Beams
