James G (LFK): Attendance is still 15-30, good amount of new members.

 

Old Business:                         

James: In contact with Kim re: joining / being part of area. Their meeting needs help getting organized ie: reg business meetings. Also in contact with Neil, GSR (Provo), asked if they can send another GSR, that meeting has 5-7 homegroup members, majority are treatment ctr residents.

Jonathan: Went to two meetings at the Alano Club, Saturday Mtg – Not yet structured to send GSR, high treatment center attendance. Second mtg – Less structure, high energy, good “fellowship mtg”. Melissa (contact) Monday and Wednesday night CMA meetings.

 

Albie: Valley Behavioral Health, Treatment Center – Treatment seems to be scattered in various locations. Jonathan suggests wide net approach with getting “brand awareness” and making sure that we utilize time efficiently. James states that the purpose of visiting treatment centers is to provide opportunities for service to other addicts as well as bringing the message to the patients. Goal for spreading CMA Area awareness is to grow Area itself. How often to bring a meeting to a treatment center? Re-assess after an initial meeting visit the frequency based on the meeting response and facility.

Things to assess when going to different treatment centers: Format, frequency, coordination.                

New business:

Jonathan: Requests $90.67 for software licensing fee reimbursement, which is an annual subscription $106.68 every January subsequently.

Unanimously passes. Treasury balance = $382.50
