Treasurer’s Report – Report was passed out. Contributions of 129.77 with expenses of 14.12 give a total in the treasury of 1167.50. With the budgeted expenses of 499.39 there is a total of 668.11. Thank you to the groups that contributed this month.
Central office – No set minutes for last month’s meeting. Are there any new concerns with the calendar bulletin? Concerns of website being changed to title that it is Lincoln’s website not the central offices. Also a concern with using last names used for the sobriety dates listed at the bottom of the bulletin. At the last central office meeting there was a discussion of selling a non conference approved CD of music representing the 12 steps.
