[NA-Discuss] LA NARALO / Re: NARALO 9th July Teleconference Summary

[RJGlass | America@Large]

For clarification only......

What is the purpose of the LA meeting?

Regardless if 2 meetings were planned in the same region back to back, I
think it appropriate for NARALO to meet at that time, rather than wait - I'm
guessing out of memory - 2 years before the next NA meeting.
