DEAR FELLOW ADDICTS, EVERYTHING IS RUNNING SMOOTHLY WE HAD A FEW COMMITMENTS THAT DIDN’T MEET A LOT DUE TO THE HOLIDAYS AND WEATHER. ALL COMMITMENTS ARE BEING ATTENDED BUT WE ARE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO HELP CARRY THE MESSAGE, WE ARE STARTING A NEW COMMITMENT FOR CHESAPEAKE DRUG COURT, THURSDAYS AT 9 AM AND HOPE TO FIND SOMEONE THERE THIS WEEK. THE ONLY ISSUE WE HAVE HAD THIS PAST MONTH IS NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND SOMEONE TO SERVE AS PANEL LEADER FOR THE NEW CHESAPEAKE DRUG COURT MEETING, THURSDAYS AT 9 AM. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK EVERYONE TO PLEASE ANNOUNCE AT MEETINGS THAT WE NEED SOMEONE FOR THAT COMMITMENT AND GIVE MY INFORMATIONS TO ANYONE INTRESTED. IN LOVING SERVICE, RYAN D. CHAIRPERSON
