       At 5:30 P.M. (CST) this meeting was called to order by DCM Bill D. with 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. 49801……..
        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.
