Tradition 2 : For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority—a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.

I am responsible. When anyone, anywhere reaches out for help, I want the hand of AA always to be there, and for that, I am responsible.

District 50/51
District 50/51 Representative Meeting
January 4, 2010 6:30 PM
Darlene opened the meeting with the Serenity Prayer. Gordon read the 12 Traditions.
The previous month’s minutes were read by all and accepted as written.
District Financial Report: John W. gave the report. Paid $70 to renew P.O. Box rental. Voted to approve the financial report. John W. said the district now pays the Alano Club $12.50/month to rent the space for the monthly district rep meeting instead of passing the hat each month and paying that amount to the Alano Club. John W. had $27 from past 7th traditions and asked what should be done with that money. John A. said that the district body is supported by the groups it serves, that the groups decide how much money the district body should have, and that the groups determine how the district gets and uses money. Gordon made a motion to deposit the $27 into the district checking account. Motion was seconded and approved.
A check in the amount of $250 was written for the previous District 50 DCM to go to the 3rd quarter assembly, but she was unable to attend. John W. tore up the check that had been written to pay for Pam’s assembly expenses that she didn’t end up needing.
Intergroup Report: Mike gave the intergroup report. Since group donations to Intergroup have been down for the past year, Intergroup has not been able to stock as much literature inventory as it used to.
There is a Hotline opening every other Saturday from 1:00-5:00. Call Mike (at intergroup) or Kathy (256-6127) to volunteer.

Chairman's Message
Remember the 75th International
Convention at San Antonio July
1st to 4th. Have you made your
reservation.? See your GSR or Intergroup
representative for more information.
Hoping the few can accomplish
what the many don't want to
do? Was your representative one
of the seven at our last meeting?
Ask him/her to find out.
Does your group have a rep?
Ask and find out if you're not
sure.
I get the Inter Group letters
from all over the country and
see the same trend every where - I'll just
leave it up to the other
guy to be responsible.
REMEMBER to the other guy
YOU are the other guy!!!!!!
Our traditions tell us I am responsible
for AA to continue not the other
guy!!!!!!!!!!
