*RCM REPORT: Given by Joanna S.
No
written report at this time.
*P&A REPORT: Given by John D.
Being our
Area Policy and Administration Chairperson, it has been brought to my
attention, that there seems to be some unclear verbiage in our Area Policy,
which has been causing controversy and disunity in our area.
After
discussion with other concerned members, and further discussion with fellow
home group member of The Growing Tree group of NA, a group conscience decision
was made on April 29, 2005 to host a Learning Day event where all concerned
members of our area can review and better clarify our local policies. Pending further discussion with the other
Friday night group and Clean for Today, we hope to hold this learning event at
our annual combined picnic, to be held on August 20, 2005. More to be revealed.
Any and all help from willing trusted servants will be
greatly appreciated.
Lets take pride in what we have and make this a successful
event.
Remember people, this is a WE THING.
Thanks
for the opportunity to serve,
Johnny
D.- P&A Chairperson
