Jamie M. would like to see District
10 install a special needs Committee at the District level and has volunteered
to act as Chairperson. District 10 warmly received this offer and will do all
we can to help in that regard. As with all committees, they are asked to meet
separately of bi-monthly District meeting due to time restraints and report to
the District. There is a real need for this 12th Step work in the
District and the need will be greater down the road. Special needs is not
confined just to the physically challenged but also to those that may be home
bound and unable to attend AA meetings away from their residences. If you are
interested in this work contact Jamie at [editted] and plan on attending
District meetings.
The stress unit at Owosso Memorial
Hospital would like us to provide an AA meeting on Tuesday evenings from 7:00
PM to 8:00 Pm. Outside AA members carrying our message of recovery to the
stress unit will be limited to two at any one time to avoid overcrowding and
unmanageable conditions for staff. One suggestion was that groups
‘adopt-a-month’. A single group would assume the responsibility of providing
two members to go in for each Tue Night for one month.
ShiaCoaa is once again hosting CMIA
Area 32 Assembly in January (01.06.08) at Corunna VFW Hall. The Owosso groups
are making potato salad and macaroni salad and the Durand groups are providing
baked beans. We are asking for the help of groups outside those locations with
the desserts. Please remember we are feeding between 125 and 150 people! CMIA
is paying $600 to offset the cost of hosting and we are looking into having
fried chicken this time instead of cold cuts. We really need your groups
support in this!!
Approved $20.00 seed money for new
Secretary to offset cost of postage.
Our Spring Seminar is in the
planning stages. We have decided on Sat, April 12th as the day and
are interested in seeing if a group outside of Owosso would be interested in
hosting. We are also asking the groups to make suggestions for a theme for the
seminar. We are instructing our DCM’s to act as hosting committee.
Brian McG, DCM announced that he is
returning to New York and may not be coming back to this locale. We wish him
Godspeed and will meet him again as we ‘trudge this road to happy destiny’.
Thank you so much for your tireless efforts and a job well done, Brian.
The District is compiling group info
for printing new directories. Hopefully that information will be available to
send to printer by Feb. Please let us know if any of your information for your
meetings has changed or we will assume that information on hand is accurate and
that’s what will be printed. Plan on attending District meetings, we need the
cooperation and support of all.
Meeting
adjourned at 7:40 PM; closed with the Lords Prayer. Thanks to the Friday Night
Gp for hosting.
Our
next ShiaCoaa meeting will be held Monday, Feb 4, 2008 in Morrice hosted by the
Serenity Group at 501 N Main St beginning at 6:00 PM.
