CM News

This is the date everybody liked for the CM Meeting make up.

This is at my house:

33045 Korbel Street, Union City, CA 94587

The other option is to request to have the questionnaire sent to you. It will be graded and scored by the state office. They will send me an e-mail informing me to unblock you. You must pass at 70% in order to be unblocked. The video is kind of important, because there are a few changes in CM procedure this year. I urge you to come to hear the video and I can answer any question you have, especially for the new members. I am also there to discuss branch procedure as well. We also have a few changes in CM procedure at the branch level.
