8. Group Concerns/Good of the Group: Bill E. has copies of the new law being required for new drivers licenses by Oct 2020. They will be needed to get into airports, on to planes and into federal buildings. For more information, go to AZDOT.gov/travelID. Susan D. shared that she and Gene had gone on a tour of the new Mormon Temple on Skyline. It is gorgeous inside and there were hundreds of volunteers to answer any questions. If interested, check with Susan because you have to park at a different location and take a shuttle to the temple. The tours run throughout the month. You need to go to the website for more information and to sign up, templeopenhouse.lds.org. Jorge A. talked to Richard Roberts. He and Val are having fun in San Diego.
