ASC Public Relations Sedona : Public relations guidelines were emailed to
Natalie and were emailed out to everybody to be reviewed . We still need two
men to be of service at the Salvation Army the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays at 7 PM.
We are looking into creating a position to coordinate sponsorship behind the
walls. We are having an event to raise money for literature for those who
can’t make it to a meeting. It’s called Feed your soul and buy a bowl. It will
be held Saturday, February 1. We are shooting for around 1 PM. Soup for lunch
and ice cream for dessert. We are considering doing a soup making competition.
Please reach out to anybody on the public relations committee if you are
interested in donating a pot of soup and competing. Place and exact time
TBD.
TAC Liaison Angie : Nothing to report our next meeting is in the 21st

Ride 4 Recovery Liaison Tracy H. : Got Check to Sara N. Looking for donations
from Butte Area for the Ride 4 Recoverys next event in 2025
Guidelines Committee Dennis M. : We had a scheduled meeting for December
1st that required postponement. The holiday schedule has rendered meeting
attendance difficult. Our next meeting scheduled will be held December 29th
Chico N.A. in Chico at 1:30pm. At that time, we will attempt to set a date and
time to have a second meeting in January before the January ASC meeting.
We have decided to release handwritten progress of completed sections for
review by the service body; that any feedback may be addressed in committee
before a final set is presented for approval. We have completed our
recommendations for revision of Section I Functions of the ASC; which will be
distributed today. Also, Section II Operational Guidelines are almost
complete; yet after the discussion of financing at the November ASC meeting,
our committee has decided to deliberate more extensively about the
financial/budgetary revisions after receiving additional information
forthcoming from the ASC.
Please, review our suggested recommendations for revision of the ASC Function
section in the meantime.
Thank you for allowing us to serve;
Dennis M.

formatting and certain wording.
Public Relations Guidelines Discussion

Took Guidelines straight from the P.R. template. Needs to have different
wording for vice Chair to Chair transition.
Side note : we need to make sure the wording for guidelines are geared towards
Consensus based decision making process instead of Robert’s rule of order.
All guidelines will be brought back next month to be approved after amendments
are made.
