History of district 104
Take a look at our past years through
2009
District 79 included the GCC countries with Jordan, and Lebanon. As the membership during that time was growing at an exponential, the District required to split into two districts, namely District 79 and District 20 for ease of administration. Saudi Arabia having one of the larger segments retained the District 79 tag and the others came to be called as District 20.
2009 - 2010
The application for “Reformation” as this process is called was done to TMI.
2010 - 2011
The process entails a “wait” period during which the separating district is said to be “under reformation”.
