Another difficulty is that the 0-900 software is no longer available & new software is cost prohibitive. Since our AT & T set-up costs were much lower than expected, the motion was made, seconded, & unanimously accepted that Cliff spend up to $150.00 of district funds to purchase said software, if & when he can find it.

0900 UPDATE! As of March 1st, the computer is online, and EZvoice 3.3 software was able to be purchased for under $30! The 0900 is now running in the District Office! Hip Hip Hooray! At last, two years of work have payed off.

The meeting closed with The Our Father.

The next district meeting will be held Tuesday, March 25th, 2008 at the new District 17 Central Office, located in the old Re-Entry house, 373 Woodward Ave. in Kingsford

A.A. Area 74, District 17 Corrections Report 2/25/08

2/12/08 Bonnie L. and yours truly met early morning with Lt. Price at Dickinson County correctional Center. Got Bonnie approved and her pass filled out. Found out next day that Camille had planned and did take this month off so no meeting the following day. I then made arrangements to go in with Bonnie myself to the Lt. was happy to accommodate.

2/20/08 Brought last can of coffee in with me. Attended meeting with Bonnie, had four gals come down and happy to report Bonnie is a natural for this meeting and she relates her story well. Will attend next meeting with her and then Camille or Shelly should be ready. Could see Bonnie got a lot out of the meeting - part of how it works!

Notice; Still could use another woman to help out with the Dickinson Women’s meeting. Getting cleared for these meetings takes some serious time - patience is a virtue my butt.

Double Dog Dare - to all men in Iron County for someone with two years clean and sober to come forward to chair a Men’s Correctional A.A. meeting, if sincerely interested call me at number below. You will be amazed how your attitude about corrections will change and so will the way you value the 12th Step.
