DCM report (Amy/Jennifer):

Amy visited “Let’s Hear It” group to confirm it has folded. No one was there. It has been removed from Lincaa.org and Central Office meeting lists. Amy has been unable to get it removed from Area41.org, despite multiple attempts to contact web master. Area41.org meeting list is very outdated; Let’s Hear It, Changing Times groups are still listed-as well as a mistake where a New Jersey group is also listed (Stockton Speaks Group). The Steps We Take and Cafeteria Groups meeting locations are also out of date.

District 21 Business

Old business:

  1. District boundaries agenda item. This was approved at all districts and submitted to Area 41 at November, 2011 assembly.
  2. Combined GSR/Delegates Report workshop Dec. 3rd. To be held at ROCC. Please check out and distribute flier to your groups.

Here’s the breakdown of what districts are contributing (I realized we didn’t have any money so I didn’t commit to too much). As we discussed last month, Sam, Jennifer and Linda will help organize.

District 3:

  • Paid ROCC for $50 for the rent.
  • Bernice-District 3, is going to make a cake.

Districts 3 and 21:

  • Each district should try to get 3 groups to contribute a pot of soup.
    • District 3 is bringing Wild Rice/Ham and Chili, and I think a Chicken soup.
    • District 21??? Margaret from Wednesday Noon is going to bring potato mushroom soup, muffins, and a large coffee pot. Chris C. from Steps We Take is making a big pot of chili and bringing an ice water dispenser.

District 21:

  • We will provide 30 copies. We will need to make copies of GSR toolpack once this gets revised.
  • District 21 will provide coffee service. We have more than enough coffee/cream/sugar/cups for this event. We also have supplies to make several pitchers of ice tea-just need ice and pitchers– and decaf coffee too-use ROCC coffee makers for that, if anyone wants that. We could use a big coffee pot.
  • District 21 will provide tableware. We have leftovers from our events that need to be used (plates-60, knives-50, napkins-200, spoons-30, forks-20). We don’t have bowls-will need 100, and we need a package of forks and spoons as well.
  • Women’s Circle of Friends is bringing crackers.

District 21 Elections: The GSRs and District 21 officers present elected the following people to fill the District 21 service positions for 2012-2014.

  • DCM – Jennifer R.
  • ALT. DCM – Linda S.
  • TREASURER: Jon R.
  • SECRETARY: Mike F.
  • INTERGROUP REP.: Tom B.

New business:

  1. Obtain a lift key at ROCC, asked exec pastor Janet. They will provide a key for the lift and Jennifer will call after the Holiday to get that key for use by district 21.
  2. Take the AA general service office group information sheets back to your group, update and bring back to our next district meeting.

Next business meeting will be held December 18th, 2011
