TOPIC:  Monthly GSR Meeting
DATE:  Sat 04/26/03
LOCATION:  Alano Club, Iron Mountain, Mi

       At 5:30 P.M. (CST) this meeting was called to order by DCM Bill D. with a moment of silence followed by the Serenity Prayer.  Those in attendance were Bill, Gary, Kay, Tim P., Daryl J., Charles K., Larry W., Jennifer J., Sharon W., and Cliff W.

       The minutes of the previous meeting were submitted for review.  The following correction was made in paragraph #8 concerning the ‘hiring’ of a permanent Webmaster.  Replace ‘hiring’ with ‘appointed’ would be the correct action.  A motion was made and carried to accept the minutes as corrected.

       The financial report (SEE ATTACHED SHEET) then submitted by Sharon for review.  A motion was made and passed to accept report as is.

       OLD BUSINESS: Because of inclement weather, DCM Bill was unable to attend the Spring Assembly in Three Lakes, Wisconsin.  Of the $41 in expense money received, Bill stated that $13 went for lunch purchases at the Assembly for Larry & GSR Chuck S.  Bill further stated that $28 would be deposited back into the District account.

       DCM Bill stated that ongoing discussions with Dickinson County Sheriff are proceeding concerning the 0900 AA hotline number.  Sharon stated that an address change form should have been sent to Steve S., to get the billing mailed to the District PO Box for payment purposes.  An ongoing discussion concerning the 0900 AA hotline number was tabled for next month’s meeting.

       It was reported that the distribution of AA Books for county facilities was mishandled.  DCM Bill stated that corrections in distribution are forthcoming.  A further discussion ensued.  A motion was made and carried that the District adopt “A Requisition Form’ to be filled out for all books, financial, etc., requests and distributions.  Sharon stated that she would prepare a District 17 Requisition Form to be put into effect at next month’s meeting.

       Sharon, chairperson of the local Intergroup, stated that at the final meeting held earlier today, that this year’s Intergroup was another success. Sharon, however, stated further that the Intergroup funds were low, and will have to be addressed before next years’ April Traveling Intergroup to be held in Kingsford, Michigan.

       NEW BUSINESS: Larry stated that at the Spring Assembly held in Three Lakes, that a Dave R. was appointed Webmaster to a four year term of the Area74 websight.
