Last officers meeting was in October. Nothing significant since then.

Next meeting in L.A. on Jan 24

 

6. CHIP REPORT - Keith

  In November we decided to not have chips fund as a separate account and just show as part of the general fund.

Years 10-25 were ordered 10 of each as meetings have been ordering 2-3 of the higher years at a time.

Keith has been paying the shipping cost so it is not reflected in our cost. We are marking up the chips 33% so markup is covering expenses.


7. TREASURES REPORT - Ed

Attached. Current balance $230.53

Warrenton, OR meeting sent check for $50 part of which went for chips and the balance as a donation of $15.80.

Negative Chip balance of $177.90 deducted from general fund to zero out the chip fund.

10. Web report: Mike B.

Is looking into redesigning our web site. Wants to make it simpler to use. Currently requires proprietary access and editing is too complicated. There are too many pages and access needs to be simpler. Will ask for proposal and cost. He knows someone who can do it who is friendly to the cause.


New Business:

Insurance: Karen - Monday Sacramento meets at Westminster Pres Church needs coverage for their meeting. Many 12 step meetings meet there. Church as requested a CERT of insurance. The cost of insurance is prohibitive at this time for Intergroup. It has been discussed at World Service level also and they are unwilling to cover meetings.

Email list for notification of meetings needs to be expanded to include more people.


Next meeting: March 8, 10am Mandana House, Oakland

Adjourned 2:45


**Reminder: Please keep delegate envelope circulating at your meeting and return everything collected in Mid April.**


Respectfully submitted Joyce D. for Melissa E.
