Meeting Minutes District 10 Ovid 4-6-04
Mark
S. asked if our host would open meeting with the Serenity Prayer, no response.
Mark opened with Serenity Prayer.
Don
B. read our last meeting minutes (2-2-04). Bill D. motioned the minutes be
accepted, Ray H. second, all approved.
Ray
H. gave treasury report. Motion to accept, second, all in favor.
Ray
H. stated there were 199 hits on the answering service and that it doesn’t
reflect in the meetings. Bill D. said that the majority of the callers are
probably friends and family of someone with a drinking problem. Ray H. also
stated there is no contract for the answering service (at the last district
meeting there was thought to be a 2 year contract). Once the new meeting
directories come out (in a week or so) the answering service message can be
added to by purchasing another box that will allow enough room for AA and Alanon contact numbers.
NEW
BUSINESS
Deb
M. gave a presentation on the new PI/CPC committee that was formed in the
Durand area. A summary was passed around for those present to view. The intent
of the committee was to inform District 10 of it’s present status, to be
incorporated and recognized at the district level as the PI/CPC committee. Don
B. stated that at CMIA, while the chairperson (Katherine) of the PI/CPX
committee was giving her report said in so many words that District 10 had a PI
committee. Don B. went on to say that the district doesn’t have a PI committee,
that it would have to be approved by the groups first. Bill D. said that it
doesn’t have to go back to the groups. Each group represented at the district meeting has one vote. If
approved the committee stands at the district level. Bill D. motioned to form
PI/CPC committee, Ray H. second. After some discussion where Roger C. said we
should think about the cost, it was decided to table until next district
meeting (in June). Bill D. suggested a list be compiled of localities where
literature can be placed and an estimate of the cost. Chuck C. suggested we
send out a newsletter to all the groups in the district with information about
PI/CPC and how they can help. Keith C, said he would approach CMIA about
obtaining literature.
Bill
D. mentioned a concerned member approached him about people doing AA volunteer
work as a means of fulfilling court ordered community service. Keith C. said it
was up to probation officer and the group. Others concurred.
Mark S. said the Lennon Big Book
Group would host the next District meeting June 2, 6:00 PM till 7:00 PM, thank
you Lennon.
Motion to adjourn, second,
meeting closed with The Lord’s Prayer.
