B. DCM Report
\n\u2022 Libby gave report.
\n\u2022 Libby was recently invited to attend a group business meeting for the Promises Group because this group did have a few people that had been or are currently involved in general service but had no GSR. So, Libby went to inform the group about general service and the importance of having a GSR. She thinks she \u201chooked\u201d someone who previously involved in GS to represent the group. If anyone wants Libby to visit their group to talk about GS or know of any group in our district without a GSR, please let her know
\n\u2022 On 4\/13 the H&I is having a workshop at TIE Cub from 1:30 – 3:30pm with guest speakers and trying to get people involved in H&I. If you or you know of anyone who is interested, let Libby know. She also has flyers.
\n\u2022 The Pacific Regional Forum is in Las Vegas in 2020. Phil was just elected to be our organizer for this event. The PRF is when the GSO comes out from New York to talk about what they are doing, how money is being internationally, about different GS offices around the globe, printing of big books and literature, and where they travel and try to spread the word of AA in places where AA doesn\u2019t exist. There is no cost to attend. Register online when registration becomes available.
\n\u2022 PRAASA will be in Tucson, AZ next year.
\n\u2022 Did all new GSR\u2019s fill out a registration form and\/or receive their new GSR packet? If not, please let Libby know and get your form submitted
\n\u2022 The YPAA groups really seem to be supercharged and involved around the area and we think our district might be a little light on young people. Libby asked if anyone knew of any young peoples\u2019 meetings within our District. The Lost & Found group has young peoples\u2019 meetings on Wednesday and Thursday nights. Maybe we should consider trying to institute an \u201cofficial\u201d young people\u2019 meeting in our District and getting YPAA involved in that meeting \u2013 something for us to consider. We also might want to consider adding a liaison position for YPAA to help encourage involvement. We also want to get YPAA involved in our picnic in October
\na) Took group consensus on getting YPAA involved in district, picnic, etc. \u2013 everyone in attendance was good with this.
\n\u2022 Libby asked if anyone had any questions about anything going on so far this weekend \u2013 no questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nIV. Committee Reports:
\nA. Picnic
\n\u2022 Rick gave report
\n\u2022 Thinking about doing some kind of carnival theme tied into AA. Found a bunch of DIY games and things we can do. Also looked into bouncy houses and insurance. Can get event insurance for about $200. In previous years when we had bouncy houses, we spent about $400 on them. If can get bouncy house and insurance for about the same amount \u2013 would group be good with that?
\n\u2022 Marty noted that picnic has basically been a financial wash last several years, so spending a bit more wouldn\u2019t seem to be an issue. Group consensus was agreement on having bouncy houses.
\n\u2022 Libby noted the archives guy used to bring out a big wooden frame like a polaroid or selfie \u2013 should see if we can get that again.
\nB. Workshops
\n\u2022 Joan not in attendance, Libby gave report.

\n\u2022 We will probably want to do next workshop in August or November and then plan another for next year. Need volunteer for chair or to take over or even just one.
