District 17, A.A. Corrections Report
10/10/06 Mailed out books donated from Friday Night Masonic Group
(Kingsford) and Monday Night Early Group (Iron Mountain) to Keith K. whom will
distribute them for me on his side of our district. Thank you to all involved in
this from all involved. I know the ladies that do the Iron County Corrections
Women’s Meeting will greatly appreciate the support and encouragement.
Laura is still in our prayers- God Bless.
10/13/06 Contacted Dylan N. about pamphlets and possibility of Area
helping out on purchase of books being ordered for Camp Ottawa. Budget is spent
for northern Wisc. and Area is very low and our districts corrections has
received past and present.
10/15/06 Spoke to Keith K.about order for Camp Ottawa and he said they had
a few more Big Books (few in ruff shape), so we changed the order around to more
12X12's and more importantly Living Sober.
10/15/06 Dylan called about pamphlet order, that he had them and said he
would bring it to 3 Lakes.
10/21/06 Steve S. District 17 very own DCM called to say Dylan could not
make it as he was experiencing serious transportation problems.
10/22/06 Dylan called to apologize for not being at 3 Lakes, explained his
situation and said he will get pamphlets out in post as soon as possible. I do
appreciate all he has done for us and for me in my present position, his support
and care has been encouraging saying the least, let alone the mini meetings.
Dennis S., Corrections Committee Chair
In the month of October….. Cliff W. (District Treasurer) had done the
following.
The Daily Planner does come out on either a Wednesday or Thursday two to
four times monthly. Corrections were made to meeting schedule for AA, the AA
hotline # for Iron County and the description between an OPEN and Closed AA
Meeting.
Open AA Meeting: For anyone that thinks that they may have a problem with
alcohol themselves.
Closed AA Meeting: For alcoholics interested in the recovery process from
alcoholism.
Probation officers of Dickinson County: I met as GSR of the New Hope
Group of the VAMC and suggested that they court order offenders to the Open AA
Meetings held at the VA. I explained the differences of Open to Closed AA
meetings. That drug addicts should go to NA meetings. I presented the probation
department with the Open Meetings schedule held at the VAMC weekly.
Pete Schlitt is now semi-retired. The 0900 # needs updating. What should
we do? On an AA meeting card, all changes compared to what is now on 0900
messages would be presented to Mr. Schlitt along with a copy of the Meeting
Schedule for District 17 on the website.
The Area74 website is now under construction for updated changes and a new
look.
I propose that for the next six months, the Monthly District meeting be
held on Tuesday (at Trinity Church in Iron Mountain) and then Wednesday (at the
VAMC in Iron Mountain) starting at 6:30 p.m. To switch back and forth with set
dates.
(The month of
November had already been set in Spaulding)
