Old Business

4)      Sue said someone nearby where the Lyman meeting was supposed to be held hasn’t seen anyone there for a long time.  Shay from Evanston said according to people in her aftercare group, Lyman doesn’t have NA. 

 

New Business

1)      The Treasurer will be given a key to Area post office box.

2)      Area Inventory.  Rocky suggested that since we haven’t done one in the last few years, that we do a new Area Inventory.  Area Planning Tool Kit has a nicely written inventory that we could use.  It would be easy to get answers based on statistics, since responses are numerically coded. 

3)      Quorum.  Delynda made a motion to rescind the guidelines on voting if no quorum is present.  A con was presented that this motion would mean only one group GSR would be needed to control the Area’s money.  The motion was withdrawn, but Delynda stated that the business meetings are scheduled far enough in advance that GSR’s should be able to attend, with some exceptions.

4)      Email mailing list questions.  Some people on list haven’t attended NA in a while.  We will only have trusted servants on this list.

5)      Web page.  Rocky suggested we only put a URMR and World link, because one link to Idaho NA, led to a “Party Girl” link.  Steve will do this.

6)      Increase in PO Box charge.  Motion passed to pay the increased price for the Area PO Box.

7)      Rick asked if the Area wants to do a Basic Text workshop, to discuss the new edition for the Basic Text.  The changes can be previewed on the World website.  We will have a meeting at 10:00 prior to the next business meeting.

8)      A motion passed to put the H & I fundraiser money back into the H & I budget.

 

Motion passed to have the next meeting to be on Dec 9 in Evanston prior to their Birthday celebration.  Basic Text workshop at 10:00, PI at 11:00, business at 1:00.  Motion passed to have RCM chair the next meeting if Vicki cannot attend.

 

Meeting adjourned at 4:45 pm.
