In District 3, there will be a gathering on Wednesday, January 14, from 6-8 pm, at the Lions Hut at 98 School Street in Murphys.
For District 5, a meeting will be Monday, January 26, from 6-8 pm at the Jenny Lind Fire Station on Jenny Lind Road in Valley Springs
In District 4, there will be a meeting on Tuesday, January 27, from 6-8 pm, at the Copperopolis Fire Protection District station on Main Street.
For District One, a meeting will be Wednesday, January 28, from 6-8 pm at the Jenny Lind Veterans Hall on Daphne Street.
