Shelia Hunt gave the Conservation Minute on the massive waste accumulated in the Pacific Ocean from the Japanese Earthquake & Tsunami.  One of the things she said that we could do is to not release any more balloons into the atmosphere, because they end up in the ocean and entangled in the other debris.  Fish are eating the plastic particles that contain poisonous chemicals and then we eat the fish.

Plans were revealed and voted on to hold an area DAR meeting to promote Andrea's Mission and study about the Constitution.
