District 17 Newsletter con't...
9/13/06 Dropped off can of coffee at Dickinson
County Correctional Center for both women’s and men's meetings, have two on
reserve (average is between 8-9 cans for year as best as I can figure and can
sizes vary).
9/16/06 Received 8= Big Books, & 8=12X12's from Cliff W. which were
donated by The Early Friday Night Group in Kingsford ( Cliff stamped all these
books with the meeting's stamp); these are for the Iron County Women's
Corrections A.A. meetings. This donation is greatly appreciated by all of us
involved with corrections.
9/17/06 Contacted Dylan N., Area 74 Corrections Chairperson, requested
from him through the Area's Corrections fund basic pamphlets for all 5 of our
county jail meetings and Camp Ottawa in Iron River. He said my request would
probably be a week or so, as he is going to go through the Area's Literature
Committee. Hope some day I will get the chance to meet him personally, as he
has been just great in assisting our district and supporting my position.
9/17/06 Contacted Keith K. from Iron River, he does the county
corrections and Camp Ottawa A.A. meetings, we discussed the needs for books and
how the prison camp should be supported by our district as a whole. We agreed
what is needed and that I will put the order together and submit our request to
the district at the meeting in Felch on 9/28/06. He plans on being at the
meeting so will give him the books for the women's meeting in Crystal Falls.
9/18/06 Requested from and approved by Early Monday Night Group in Iron
Mountain; 3 large, Daily Reflections books for The Iron County Corrections
Women’s meeting (2) and (1) for Camp Ottawa; and two donate by Paul Monday
treasurer of which one for Florence and Iron Co. men’s. Thank You Paula and
Monday the New Hope Groups at the V.A. had donated Reflections for the
Dickinson County Corrections meetings.
I would thank all the groups past and present for giving their support for
corrections, in 11 years this has been the most encouraging support to all of us
that do these meetings. I know of at least 11 people that have come to the
program as a result of our legacy. Also, in doing these meetings we get to
pooh-pooh on the drinking of those that attend.
Gratefully and Sincerely: Dennis S.
