\nk) Rick brought up that with bouncy house, insurance, and all the plans, we will be going over the budget we previously discussed. So, do we need to cut back? What do we want to do? Libby mentioned that based on previous discussions and between 7th tradition, raffle, etc pretty sure we can at least break even or get close to break-even ad would rather see us do these things to try and have a great turn out as opposed to last few years. Caroline suggested we empower the committee to review everything and make a recommendation to the group on what to spend. Libby also mentioned we made more than expected on the Chili cook off and have a little more in the kitty than usual. Libby reiterated Caroline\u2019s comment about empowering the picnic committee so continue to be responsible, do what we need to and let group know as we are getting close to or over budget for further approval
\nl) Chyna asked for picnic details, Rick reiterated, Chyna mentioned that lots of newcomers at group, Libby said to speak to Rick and Christine to put those newcomers to work if interested, Libby asked Chyna if they know someone who can face paint, Chyna said she can or will ask around to see about a volunteer.
\nm) Rick asked group if we want PI\/CPC at picnic? \u2013 Decided to ask them if they want to be at picnic so they can do sing-ups. Invite them and then they can decide if they want to be there.

\na) Libby brought up that we need volunteers for the joint workshop with D3 in mesquite. Libby will reach out to District 3 to get details and then let us all know so we can get dates on our calendar. We would like to get at least 10 volunteers from our district for this. Next month at meeting we will do sign up.
\nb) Kristy \u2013 had idea that we put on a dance for workshop. Foot loose in fellowship, maybe ask young people to help us, so it\u2019s not just another workshop \u2013 but more fun. Libby \u201dvoluntold\u201d Kristy to be head of this workshop.

I. Finance (Marty)
\n\u2022 Marty not here, Libby gave report.
\na) Some work done by the Finance committee since our last meeting. They had first writing of the proposed new guidelines, Libby reviewed and made some suggestions to the committee. They should be able to have that ready to go over at our next meeting and we will do that at a Boulder City meeting because to do it now after SAGSC would be cruel and unusual punishment
\nb) For those that don\u2019t know, D1 has guidelines for how we run our meeting and that is all housed on our D1 website along with past meeting minutes, flyers, etc. When Rick gets your email and contact details, he will add you to D1 group and send you minutes, information, etc. In that information, we realized there was a gap in our finance guidelines for what happen when we switch over years\/commitments, so the guidelines the finance committee is writing and that we are discussing now are being done to address that gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a) When Caroline was discussing trouble the 12th Step list is having with volunteers, Marita asked if Las Vegas has tried going to all DCM\u2019s and getting them to find a few volunteers? Having a personal request can make a big difference in getting people involved.

\nB. Did anyone come back with any workshop ideas, other than Kristy\u2019 dance idea? No\u2026 Obviously we need some liaisons, please think about this and ask around for volunteers.
