G. PI/CPC (open): no report
H. Intergroup (open): no report
I. Special Needs (open): no report. Ted asks the group. Is your meeting place handicapped acceptable? Not just available, but acceptable. Special Needs has wheelchairs, so they can contact. Special Needs also includes taking meetings to people in assisted living and rehabs. Suzanne asks who should she inform? Ted says to contact Central Office to make certain that the information is available on the meeting schedule.
IV. Old Business
A. AA Service Manual Ch. 7 Discussion presented by Claudia: Claudia showed the 2015 General Service Conference report passed out at the last SAGSC meeting. Also showed Box 459 and 2016 Literature catalog. Overview of last year’s General Service Conference agenda items: increasing individual contribution voted down, new or revised pamphlets approved. Mentions Right of Decision and how the Delegate votes his or her own conscience at the General Service Conference.
B. Group Discussion:? Jacque talked to Cherie and mentioned that the PI/CPC group is getting new volunteers and her groups are passing around the Green Can and getting donations. Her alternate, Jake was a newcomer when he first volunteered, but Jacque pointed out that there are no sobriety requirements for alternates and he is still sober and still in service.
Kathleen says her group is concerned that the money donated through the green can is not being tracked at Central Office. Her group would like to see where their money is going. Maybe they should have their own treasurer to keep track of the money.
Ted says that both the PI and CPC committees give out information but do not provide literature racks. Kathleen says that other committees in other regions are doing the same thing. Ted’s argument is that they should be able to afford to buy their own literature racks.
