District 4

January 2007 Minutes

January 11, 2007

 

 

Bill B. opened the meeting with the Serenity Prayer. 12 people were in attendance. The Preamble and the GSR Statements were read.

 

The January agenda was approved after adding “elections” to Old Business. The December minutes were corrected and approved (corrections: checking and savings totals were 2801.38 with a total of 176.38 in unassigned funds; Fred D. will be proxy GSR for OSP).

 

Treasurer’s Report: The checking and saving account balances total 3004.17 with a total of 174.17 in unassigned funds after deducting 2830.00 prudent reserve. Fred D. reported that 170.00 will go toward rooms at the February Assembly.

 

 

Archives: Billy M. reported that he will be doing some legwork and passing out history forms and addressed envelopes to groups. At this time reports are trickling in from groups.

 

CPC: Keary D. reported that there was no CPC activity in the last month.

 

PI: Bj B. reported that she is in the process of creating a contact list for area retirement homes. The speaker workshop is postponed until late March.

 

GrapeVine: Tammy A. reported that she learned a lot by attending a Grapevine meeting at the Assembly. She plans to phone the Grapevine general office and ask for further information prior to our next meeting.

 

Intergroup Liaison: No report.

 

H & I: Trevor M. plans to attend the upcoming WVI meeting to see if the H & I might align with Intergroup. He also plans on talking with the Area H & I chair for additional information.

 

Alternate DCM:  Fred D. reported that nothing from the November Assembly was tabled. He also passed out service assembly/meeting flyers and took names for attendance to the February Assembly.

 

Alternate DCM: Paula F. attended a DCM class last weekend in Eugene and became inspired by some of the points brought up there. One suggestion she had for the group was that two GSR’s would take a motion at the upcoming Assembly and research it with alternate views on the matter. Another idea was to pair new GSR’s with past GSR’s at Assemblies.

 

DCM: Bill B. had more information on the Eugene DCM class and talked about an “Area Orientation” web presentation.

 

Old Business:

 

Elections were held. Cori P. was elected Secretary and Monica W. was elected Treasurer.

 

Monica Walker, incoming Treasurer, is to be added to the West Coast Bank signature card, and Frederick Davis, outgoing Treasurer, is to be removed from the card. William Bey, current DCM, will remain on the card.

 

A District 4 meeting will be held in Dallas during the month of March. Bob M. will create flyers for us to distribute to groups.

 

GSR school is postponed until April 21. It will be held at St. Paul’s.

 

District hopes to have a Post-Conference Picnic with Eric on the first Sunday in August at the Keizer Gazebo. Eric will let Bill B. know soon if this is possible.

 

New Business:

 

Paula suggested that there be a District 4/WVI party in October (possible 3^rd Saturday).

 

A motion was made and passed for a committee (Paula F., Bill B., and Bob M.) to explore the possibility of District hosting an PNC.

 

The Responsibility Pledge was read and the meeting was adjourned.

 

Respectfully submitted,

Cori P.
