Sue T gave PI/CPC report:
After
some discussion about whether or not we should return funds to CMIA for PI/CPC
work in the district due to lack of support from the fellowship within the
district in getting literature distributed to schools, libraries, judicial
persons (jail, courthouse, probation officers, etc.); it was decided we should
spend money for the appropriate literature and do as best we can with we have
in the way of willing folks to see that the work gets done.
Bill D gave website and
correspondence report:
As
of June the contract for the web domain name (district10area32.org) had expired
and been automatically renewed. This would have caused a bit of confusion and
possible interruption of services were we to attempt to change name of site to
ShiaCoAA.org at this time. Bill is investigating change of provider with a
redirect from our older website name to the new name.
Bill
presented mailings received from AA General Service office, AA entities other
than GSO and correspondence from entities outside of AA altogether. Our mailing
address is published in Directories published by AAWS and is available at the AA
website as well as our website so it is inevitable that we will receive
solicitations for business from companies and organizations outside of AA. It
is the policy of District 10 to not respond to any mailings from outside AA.
OLD BUSINESS:
We are still interested in conducting
a workshop in Oct. and are soliciting suggested ideas for the theme of the
workshop from the Fellowship. At the time of the meeting the only suggestion
was Literature in AA. [ Sec. Notes: since meeting have been asked to consider
the Promises as a theme]
Discussed
pending relocation of Don B., Chairperson and Jenny H., Secretary.
Bill D. volunteered to fill
remaining term of Secretary and Sue T. said she would fill term of Chairperson
pending contact with another person that had previously volunteered for same
position.
NEW BUSINESS:
If
the groups in the district are not going to attend the District meeting held
once every two months then the District will go to the groups. We need support
for our efforts to be a viable service body serving the groups in District 10
and if we are having a problem communicating with the groups and you have any
suggestions about how we can better serve you PLEASE let us know.
The
minutes for Feb and June will be compiled soon and we will get them to you as
quick as we can. Sorry for the delay.
We
will be looking for a group to host the next district meeting the first Tuesday
in Oct. If your group is interested please contact us so we can get that info
out.
Meeting closed with the Lords
prayer and adjourned.
