I. Minutes: March minutes approved.
II. Treasurer’s Report (Dee):
Erin is out of town. Dee is reporting for treasurer. Checking account $288.08 savings account $503.66. Consensus of the room was that is a little low. Maybe due to the time of year and the funding we have done for GSRs and DCM. Hoping that donations will pick up now that trip funding is done until September. Erin is having trouble getting the log in info for the bank account. The finance committee is working on this problem. They are also looking to see if changing banks would be a good option for us. More to come on these next month.

If you know of a group that currently does not have a GSR, is not a part of the service structure, and their voice is not heard on issues pertaining to AA, please ask them if they would be interested in a visit from us. We can come to their business meeting or to their regular meeting. We can talk for 5 minutes or for the whole meeting.
B. PRAASA 2018 funding: PRAASA 2018 will be held in Area 42 in Sparks Nevada. We would like to see as many of our members there as possible. Steve will be doing some research on finding out how much it would be to rent a van and get a room if we went in a big group. He will be trying to figure out an approximate dollar amount for each member. Jake will do research on what kind of “fund raisers” that we could do while being sure not to violate any of our traditions. There was talk about a 50/50 raffle at our workshops and picnic, a bake sale, a car wash. We will hear more about PRAASA funding at our next district meeting May 21st at the T.I.E club right after the SAGSC meeting is over.
