We had a great turn out for the meeting at the American Indian Council office last Wednesday, thank you all for coming.
Virginia opened meeting Mr. Johnson was unable to make it as he was at a meeting himself.
Introductions were made around the room. It was great to meet and see everyone.
The Christmas Party was discussed and the success of the event. Everyone enjoyed the party and the food.
Plans for the balance of the grant: Brooke stated that there was some money left over. A committee was formed for another event, maybe at March Easter time.
Plans were discussed about Virginia giving presentations at church’s and social events for any group that may be interested in Breast and Cervical cancer issue’s.
Virginia said she moved from the 5th floor to the 4th floor if any one was interested in getting in touch with her.
