All other old business tabled.
V. NEW BUSINESS
A. District One proposal to SAGSC for PRAASA funding (Marita):
Marita said that the best ideas come from the groups and then move forward. At the SAGSC meeting, as she was hearing about sending money to GSO, she had the idea: We (Area 42) are getting the opportunity to host PRASSA. We have 11 DCM’s in the south, we have 8 Standing Committee Chairs, 2 Trainers = 21 people. The hotel for PRASSA is very inexpensive. She would like District One to propose that SAGSC spend $100 per person (= $2100 total) for all of these people to attend PRASSA + .37 in mileage $1296 for a total of $4196. None of these people can go to a group to fund this – she picked one night because each one should be encouraged to buddy up with another. The reason for the mileage is that each car could be loaded with GSR’s to head up there. This would be a one-time only event. Have the proposal say that the total is not to exceed $4196. There will be volunteers needed and it would be really great if we could help the north with this great responsibility.
There was some discussion on the proposal. At the last PRASSA there were several DCMs that were not able to attend due to financial hardship on the group (on the District?).
The motion is that District One propose to SAGAC that SAGSC fund, for one time only PRASSA 2018 and in an amount not to exceed $4200: one night hotel and mileage per Guidelines for each of 11 DCM’s in the south, 8 Standing Committee Chairs and 2 Trainers (21 people total).
Marita will write up the proposal.
The proposal will need to be done prior to July (when the finance committee meets).
B. Barbie: would like Pam be our next DCM, she’s learning well.
