Central Office minutes the same month?

New Business:

District 29: Brought concern – they don’t know what is being done with the money they have given to Intergroup. Total being reported in minutes is deceptive.
- 60 Minutes also wants to know how money was spent in 2012.
- Groups seem to be upset because they don’t know where the money is going.
- Question: are groups looking at minutes online?
- Solution: Report how much each committee has for a balance each month.
  - Motion: Jessi will add committee balances that are reported elsewhere in the minutes to the treasurer’s report, so groups can see all finances on one page
    - Motion passes. Will try for this month and see what groups say.
60 minutes was recognized for having an issue and sending someone to discuss it
Spiritual Actions asked about past item brought up – why does Intergroup not try quarterly meetings???
- Found the item in past minutes and explained what was said last time.

  WHAT IS A CENTRAL OFFICE?

A central office (or intergroup) is an A.A. service office that involves partnership among groups in a community—just as A.A. groups themselves are partnerships of individuals. A central office is established to carry out certain functions common to all the groups—functions which are best handled by a centralized office—and it is usually maintained, supervised, and supported by these groups in their general interest. It exists to aid the groups in their common purpose of carrying the A.A. message to the alcoholic who still suffers.

To see more information from GSO: http://www.aa.org/en_pdfs/mg-02_centralorinter.pdf

Table this until Feb.

New Business:

Concern that we may be out of money by June or July.
- Reps believe groups will not let that happen.
Question: Should we include committee balances in with Treasurer’s report?
- Can we ask committees to do a biannual financial report?
- Motion: Committees provide a Biannual Financial Report (In June and December)
  - MOTION PASSED

Meeting closed at 7:25 p.m. and we all gathered for the Serenity Prayer.
