Details of the visit will be finalized by the Area 41 Agenda   Committee and the Area 41 Delegate at least one year before the visit.   Funding for the estimated expenses of the Trustee\u2019s visit shall be   included in the Area 41 Chairperson\u2019s budget.<\/p>\n<p>Background information:   Regular access to the trustee by trusted servants within Area 41 will   improve communications throughout the service structure. Currently no   formal communication lines exist between the trustee, who serves on the   General Service Board and either AA World Services or AA Grapevine, and   Area 41. Amount of and quality of information from the GSB to Area 41   depends on the style and inclination of both the seated delegate and   trustee \u2013 sometimes information flow seems good and sometimes not so   good. Even the impression of poor communication within Area 41 is not   healthy for the fellowship. This proposal requires financial commitment,   the amount to vary with the location of Area activities and residence   of the trustee.<\/p>\n<p>Discussion at District 29 Meeting:<br \/>\nWhy   would Area 41 invite the West Central Regional Trustee to come to the   last Area 41 meeting when that is when we hold elections, would there be   any true benefit having them come during this particular assembly?<br \/>\nWhat   would be the purpose of inviting the West Central Regional Trustee,   what is their role and what do they have to offer? &nbsp;Isn\u2019t there already   open communication to the West Central Regional Trustee, do we have   access to contact this person? &nbsp;Why is this to be included in the   Chairpersons Budget? &nbsp;<br \/>\nShouldn\u2019t this go into the Delegates budget?<\/p>\n<p>AGENDA ITEM 2012-03-10 011 Finance<br \/>\nArea 41 increase the Conference delegate contribution from $1500 to $2000.<\/p>\n<p>Background information: An Advisory Action from the 62   General Service Conference\u2019s Finance Committee recommended that the   annual delegate\u2019s contribution, be increased from $1200 to $1600 and   passed with substantial unanimity.   Estimated cost of sending Delegates to General Service Conference is   $5800. Area 41\u2019s Agenda Items Action Listing page XI-5 September 2000   reports a motion was passed for the finance committee to determine   delegate\u2019s contribution based on Area 41\u2019s current financial status. If   finance committee deter-mines Area 41\u2019s current and projected financial   status is adequate I request Area 41 consider the proposed change   keeping with the spirit of self-support regarding 7th Tradition and   considering inflation.<\/p>\n<p>Discussion at District 29 Meeting: The process of this type of contribution and why<\/p>\n<p>New Business:<br \/>\nVOTE: AGENDA ITEM 2012-03-10-012 Agenda &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(Failed &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;0 \u2013 For the item ~ 3 Against)<\/p>\n<p>VOTE: AGENDA ITEM 2012-03-10 011 Finance &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(Passed &nbsp;&nbsp;3 \u2013 For the item ~ 0 Against)<\/p>\n<p>New Agenda Items Sent to Committee for discussion (Area 41 See NEBRASKANEWS for Background info):<\/p>\n<p>AGENDA ITEM 2013-01-12 001 Agenda<br \/>\nSelect the District(s) to host the 2014 Area 41 Reunion.<br \/>\nAGENDA ITEM 2013-01-12 002 Agenda<br \/>\nExplore possible locations and dates for the 2015 &#8211; 2016 Area 41 Meetings and Reunions.<br \/>\nAGENDA ITEM 2013-01-12 003 Agenda<br \/>\nAdd   to the Area 41 Reunion Guidelines approved November 2011 under   &#8220;speakers&#8221; item 5: Allow at least 1.5 hours for delegates report during   the Area 41 Reunion to be scheduled no earlier than noon on Saturday.<br \/>\nAGENDA ITEM 2013-01-12 004 Archives<br \/>\nProvide   funding in the Area 41 Archives Committee budget for 2013 to allow the   Area 41 Archivist to attend the National Archives Workshop in   Springfield, MO September 12 \u2013 15, 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Group Reports:<\/p>\n<p>Friday Night Eagle: \u2013 Albert S.<br \/>\nThe   meeting is doing well and there are usually 8-10 people who attend the   meeting. &nbsp;The first Friday of every month is a speaker meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Life Preserver Group: \u2013 Steve B.<br \/>\nThe   group is going well. &nbsp;We have business meetings Quarterly or around the   Area Assemblies. &nbsp;Approximately 30-35 people attend the group every   Friday night.<\/p>\n<p>Back to Basics Group: \u2013 Stacy N.<br \/>\nThe   m is going well. &nbsp;We will be NOT be having a meeting on Christmas Eve   due to a Church function that will be going on, and the Alcathon will be   happening. &nbsp;There is discussion about New Years Eve, but at this time   the meeting is still scheduled. &nbsp;Next business meeting will be 1\/7\/2013.<\/p>\n<p>Closed at 7:12 p.m. with the serenity prayer.<br \/>\nNext Meeting will be held January 8, 2013 at 28th and \u201cS\u201d streets 2nd floor Room 2A @ 6:30 pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>December 11, 2012 Opened at 6:33 p.m.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Traditions were read by: Albert S. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Officers Were Present&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2 Groups were Present DCM \u2013 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Albert S.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Treasurer \u2013 &nbsp;&nbsp;Luke &hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lincaa.org\/?p=740\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">District 29 &#8211; December 2012<\/span> Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[22,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-740","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-22","category-district-29"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincaa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/740","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincaa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincaa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincaa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincaa.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=740"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lincaa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/740\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2694,"href":"https:\/\/lincaa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/740\/revisions\/2694"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincaa.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=740"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincaa.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=740"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincaa.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
