the Serenity Prayer. Those in attendance were Jennifer J., Tim P., Eleanor F.,
Larry W., Sharon W., Bill D., Daryl J., Chuck K., and Cliff W.
The minutes of the previous meeting were submitted for review. A motion
was made and carried to accept the minutes as mailed.
The financial report (See Attached Sheet) was then submitted by Sharon
for review. As documented on the report, it was brought to attention of a
contribution made by a new AA Group in District 17. WELCOME: ‘Thursday Night
Mish Mash Group’ open meeting at 8:00 P.M. (EST) at the Mellen Township Hall 608
Road in Wallace, Mi. A motion was made and carried to accept the financial
statement as is.
OLD BUSINESS: Sharon explained that the 0900 hotline # billing has been
updated. The billing will now be received at the District mailing address. A
lengthy discussion arose over this subject of the 0900 hotline number. It was
agreed that first of all, that we get access to the phone machine to make
necessary changes of the area meetings. Further discussions of possible
replacement of hotline phone machine will be upcoming next month. Some
questions to be answered are: Where do we want to move the hotline phone
machine? Do we want to install a contact list of AA people? Do we want to
invest in a cellphone?
A further discussion on GSR Workshop is also forthcoming.
NEW BUSINESS: DCM Bill reported that all District meeting cards are
nearly exhausted. A motion was made and passed to print out another 1,000
meeting cards (different color) to be applied on August 1st, 2003. PLEASE: Any
changes to be made or added to new batch of meeting cards; contact Sharon W. at
(906) 779-5805 or by writing to District17, P.O. Box 415, Iron Mtn, Mi.

A motion was made to move the Monthly GSR Meeting to the downtown Plaza,
second floor conference room (access by elevator), to curve from interfering
with the 6:30 AA Meeting at the Club. Opposition was strong against such a
move. Chuck stated that improvements to the Alano Club is ongoing, and that in
about 2 to 3 months, handicap accessibility will be in placed. Another motion
to move the Monthly GSR Meeting back to 5:00 P.M. was also rejected.
The next Monthly GSR Meeting is set for Sat 7/26/03 at 5:30 P.M. (CST) at
the Alano Club in Iron Mountain.
This meeting closed with Our Father at 6:30 P.M.
Your Secretary, Cliff W.
We are self-supporting through our own contributions. Remember that the
District needs the support of all AA meetings.
