OLD BUSINESS: Concern of the 0900 hotline # was on tap. Ken and Cliff
stated that on Tuesday, October 28th, they met with Pete Shlitt at the Dickinson
County Correctional Center and presented a copy of the new District 17 meeting
card of AA, NA, and Al-Anon meetings. Pete agreed on having the changes made
and requested to have tapes made of the listings of meetings. On Tuesday,
November 10th, Ken and Cliff brought forth to Pete two cassette tapes of
meetings with a letter written explaining a suggested format of presentation.
This letter also implemented that District 17 was paying the phone bill for the
0900 hotline # which currently presents outdated information of meetings. As of
this here GSR meeting, no further contact has been made.
Larry made a suggesting to pull out the 0900 hotline # and place same in
his home. In that way, we (District17) could make the necessary changes as they
occur.
After further discussion, it was agreed upon to let Ken and Cliff pursue
the matter further for another month.
