OLD BUSINESS – Acceptance of the By-Laws Discussion on Treatment Committee. District 19 does not have any treatment facilities nor corrections facilities, so those committees are not needed. Further discussions on the time and location of the PI and CPC meetings. Corrections need to be made to the District 19 Guidelines. Motion to accept the guidelines was made and accepted. It was noted that all committee meetings are now on zoom. It will be noted under each Committee, that it is the responsibility of the chairperson to attend the meeting. Information on committees can be found on the CT-aa.org website under member information.
NEW BUSINESS – Election of Officers in December; Discussions on all officer positions that will be elected in December. Stephan discussed the schedule and asked the GSRs to take the information back to the group. Fred re-iterated what Stephan said. Geralyn asked about the Day of Service, and it was discussed that the day would be in the Spring of 2025 once the new panel is elected.
A discussion was held regarding donations to the Alkathons. In view of the healthy balance in our treasury, a motion was made and carried to approved 300.00 donation to the Clinton Alkathon and 500.00 to the Christmas Alkathon. There was a motion made and passed unanimously to reimburse the recording secretary $200.00 for office expenses. Question on the prudent reserve for the treasurer; this district is just setting up, so we do not have an operating budget yet. Once the new panel in 2025 is elected, an operating budget will be established.
REMINDER: Fall Assembly is NOVEMBER 2ND at 9:00 AM SHARP! Your VOTE COUNT
