Using Data Merge to publish database of names

Hello all, I'm exploring ways to improve the process of layout my organization's publication.
In our organization we have many districts and each district has a list of contacts (position, name, email, phone). We list each district's contacts on the corresponding page in the publication (created in InDesign CS3).
I plan on having each district's rep maintain a .csv database of the contacts, and then using Data Merge to import the names (which change) each month.
I figured out how to import using Data Merge, but I can't seem to manipulate the way the data is displayed. I want the contacts to list one after another, rather than each in its own text frame as it is displaying now.
Can anyone point me in the right direction with this? Ideally I'd like to have all of the records import to the same text box. I really appreciate any suggestions that you might have.
Thanks much.
Keith
