                                  A.A. Area 74, District 17 Corrections Report

I received $20.00 from Keith K. from The Amasa A.A. Group of which I bought 3 containers of coffee on sale at Wal-Mart for $6.00 each and gave the remaining dollar to Emily for the sugar and cream she bought for women's meeting at Dickinson Co. So I now have 10 containers of coffee on hand as I received 6 cans from Vikki which were donated by the Kingsford Friday Night A.A. Meeting. Thank You to both groups for your support. We do mention at meetings were things come from at jail meetings.

I approached the Iron Mountain Early Monday Night AA Group about the need for 6 each 12X12's and Big Books for the Iron County Women's Corrections meeting to which it was voted approved.

I chaired the Corrections meeting at our District17 Intergroup (4-11-09) and had 10 people in attendance and the discussion was very good by all. Some needed connection that were made as a result.

Last item I have leaves me sadden with its' acknowledgment, but none the less to be accepted and that is due to certain circumstances our present chairperson for the Dickinson County Correctional Women's AA meeting will no longer be able to attend this meeting.... so until a replacement can come forward this meeting will have to be disbanded until replacement is possible at this meeting. We are grateful for the courage and service Emily has given to this meeting.

Within the district we have needs for men to hold a corrections meeting in Iron Co. Correctional Center and women for both counties, Dickinson being urgent. Anyone with the desire or with questions about such can freely contact me at the number below and I will do my best to try and help you.

Respectfully submitted,

Dennis S. (District17 Corrections Chair)
