• Annual Denbeigh show: The show was considered a big success with Manchester farmers donating items from their farms for the annual show. Discussion was held about maybe next year the Dobson PMO go as a group on a bus.
• Water Project: President Shelia Baines and Peace Corps volunteer Packy Malley visited a designated area in the Dobson area that can source water for farmers. Approximately 30 farmers can be benefited by doing so. A representative from RADA was also on site. Shelia Baines and Packy Malley submitted a proposal to Digicel. The Digicel proposal was discovered last minute but submitted anyway. The estimated cost is $4.5 million.
• Farm Road: Work was done on New Road (leading to the property of Mrs. Freda Smith). There is a drainage problem, funding is desperately needed for this work as gabion baskets should be used to alleviate the problem.
• RADA: Garden kits were distributed to female farmers for backyard gardening.
