OPEN FORUM
Robert P. asked if we want to bring signed sheets back and have an extra one
signed to put into the archive. We would like to keep track and start it back
up at annual events to keep for record of those events.
Mike H suggested we could use poster board to use as a different option and it
would store better.
A suggestion was we could start with a couple of events and put out a sheet
and poster board to see how it goes.
An alternative archive will be bringing poster boards to events so people can
sign them and the archive will start to store those to keep a record.
Satrina asked the group for any donations because Home Sweet Home is in
desperate need of support. They need literature to help hold meetings because
right now they are only able to use literature if a member happens to bring
their own book.
It was brought up that a meeting should be fully self supporting. However we
should give them a fair shot and help support them. A hat was passed around
for donations to help out. Thank you to all who donated to help support Home
Sweet Home.
Literature has sold iced coffee at 3 events and HOTH has yet to bring in the
money that was raised to help support ASC literature. The money was seeded so
we are waiting to get the money that was raised. As of right now we anticipate
that on November 24th we should have all the money counted for to help our
literature with funds.
Carolyn brought it to the group’s attention that our voice might not be heard
anywhere but at our own ASC meeting. Our RCM hasn’t been to Region for the
last 2 months and we will lose our spot and voice at Region if we miss another
month.
Dennis D said he will reach out to our RCM to see what is going on. If the
situation isn’t resolved Dennis will attend the meeting through zoom if Gene
T. is not able to so we can keep our seat at Region.
Dennis M. brought in a proposal stating to obtain conscience from other groups
of using half of the upcoming Ride 4 Recovery donation ($700.00) to be used
towards ASC literature inventory Restock
Group agreed and we will get the Groups conscious of how the money should be
used.
Ending reports: 7th tradition $285.50

New operating balance $1184.92
