Question: Why is Central Office at Intergroup meetings
Answer: we cooperate with them.

Should we visit groups to tell them about Intergroup?
NO! Not going to make a difference.

New Business:

Intergroup had a request for 96 Big Books from somewhere in Northern Nebraska

We suggested the individual go through Area and/or his District.

Suggestion: Intergroup meet quarterly rather than monthly

Feedback: like the idea, but don’t think it will work.

Group decided to think on it.

Meeting closed at 7:30 p.m. and we all gathered for the Serenity Prayer.

The next meeting is Friday, November 30 @ 6:30 p.m. @ Willard Community Center-1245 S. Folsom St.

Thank you for allowing me to be of service.
