Auguest Minutes: Read and approved
Treasurer’s Report: The Treasurer reported that
there was a nice financial end to August, but that September has been a
bit off. There have been few donations and there has been a dip in
literature sales. The message needs to be spread that we need help in
regard to donations, literature, and volunteers.
The office was closed 11 days in August due to a lack of volunteers.

Old Business:
- Fellowship Weekend
- Feedback was positive. It was fun and well organized. The Chair
mentioned the need to get the word out that a credit card had to be
used as a deposit on the room. Need to inform the next chair about
this. It was also mentioned that it would be nice to have more
involvement from St. Paul in the planning. Meetings close to St. Paul
might help. Sue mentioned that there was a lot of food left over from
breakfast. Root beer floats and hot dogs were a hit for dinner Friday
night.
- Old Computer Equipment
- Minneapolis does not want the old equipment. It will be wiped
clean for sensitive data and recycled.
New Business:
- South Area Assembly
- Please encourage Group Reps to attend on October 4.
- Gratitude Night
- Gratitude Night will be November 8. The Vice Chair reports that it will be
a Potluck and that Intergroup will be providing enchiladas. She thinks
that attendance will be big and will have the flyers ready next month.
She has excellent AA and Al-Anon speakers but
is still working on the Alateen speaker. A preliminary budget of
$700.00 was voted on and approved. There is a need for volunteers in
the following areas: decorations, set up,
literature, clean up, and daycare. Call the Vice Chair to
sign up.
