Chairman's Message

Welcome to a new year.

I hope we all had a good and sober holiday season.
I know that over the past month many groups have rotated their trusted servants.
For the trusted servants who have rotated I wish to thank you for your service in A A to your previous position. For those in a new position welcome and thank you for whatever service you have rotated to perform.
With regard to Inter-group representatives I wish to remind you we meet the 1st Sunday of each month - except Jan.- at either Rockford or Flat Iron.

OUR NEXT MEETING WILL BE SUNDAY FEB. 1st 2 PM at ROCKFORD. As an Inter-group Representative you are responsible to come to these meetings and participate in the Inter-group programs. If you cannot do this you should turn your position over to a group member who is willing to be a part of Inter-group not just a name.

I would ask each group member to make sure you are being properly represented.

Since we should be getting new representatives from groups I am willing to have an Orientation meeting for new representatives on Sat. Jan. 17th at 11 AM at the Inter-group office. If you are interested in attending an orientation contact me at pon1023256@aol.com.
The orientation meeting will depend on the response I get from people telling me they will be there, No response no meeting.
Reminder visit your online newspaper at etiaa.blogspot.com.

December Intergroup Minutes

Meeting Sunday DEC. 7 Rockford
Meeting opened at 2 PM closed at 3:10 PM
General discussion was held with regard to On-line News Letter and Bridging-the-Gap program.
We took time to remember our departed rep from Topside Group Ken M. Ken served Inter-group faithfully in his time here and will be dearly missed.

On-Line news-letter will be expanded to include important Telephone numbers, Declaration of Unity and include Tradition for each month.

Karen (Rockford Group) has volunteered to look in to various areas of starting up Bridging-the-Gap program.

Reminder to groups that the On-Line newsletter can be gained access at etiaa.blogspot.com. Also for automatic delivery each month contact me at pon1023256@aol.com.

Next meeting Sunday Feb. 1 PM at Rockford
