At 5:30 (CST) this meeting was called to order by DCM Bill D. with a moment

corrected.
OLD BUSINESS: Under-sheriff Pete Schlitt was unable to attend this meeting

A discussion on the subject of AA material for local jails was tabled.
Larry then stated that on the subject of District 17 holding a GSR

the workshop. A discussion ensued with Cliff to look into a place to hold the
workshop. It was to be understood that the workshop would be on a Saturday, and
would last approximately eight hours.

NEW BUSINESS: It was reported that the Alano Club is in search of a boiler

discussion ensued on moving next month’s GSR meeting. Sharon stated the First

motion was made to accept and passed that next month’s GSR meeting (Sat Oct 25th
at 5:30 P.M. CST) to be moved to the First Lutheran Church. The location of the
church is next to Kentucky Fried Chicken at the corner of US 2/141 and ‘H’
street in Iron Mountain. Turning south at Sound North business brings you to
the East Side of the church and parking lot. The room for the GSR meeting is on
the East Side of the church.
Bill then shared about things he has learned in his tenure as DCM. One
thing that he was impressed with was that there are some Areas of AA, where AA
Groups throughout the District host the Monthly GSR Meeting. Hummmm……

Your Secretary,
Cliff W.
