District Sixteen Minutes

Introductions: Doug C., Acting DCM (for Todd T.); Lois P., Corrections; Samira A., 3rd Tradition GSR & Acting Secretary; Vern F., Vision 4 U GSR; Missy P., Literature; Marylou W.; Christine C., Area 36 Delegate; Mary; Mark L.

The annual Vision 4 U Gratitude Picnic is scheduled for July 16th.
The group will cover the Family Focus meeting on Thursday in July. Our commitment for June did not occur because the Family Focus counselors forgot about it. Should we call ahead to confirm the meeting?
We're taking the jail annex meeting rotation in July.

The group started a web site for use as a PI tool - www.thirdtraditiongroup.org.
We would like to see a regular rotation set up for the Family Focus meetings, in place of the current month-by-month scheduling.
The group's 20th Anniversary celebration will be held the evenings of August 9th at the group, and August 10th in the Archer House basement conference room.

The group has good regular attendance at its two weekly meetings: Saturday morning at 9:30 am and Thursday evening at 7:30 pm at the UCC Church.
The group's meeting schedule is incorrectly listed on the District 16 web page of the Area website. The Area webmaster has been contacted but has not corrected it yet. We will contact Jim Gurley.

Vern is the only volunteer so far - he's volunteered to prepare a flier to publicize the picnic. Missy P. is also willing to help organize the picnic. The Wilderness Park shelter has been reserved.
The District has supplied drinks. Bring a dish to pass and meat if you want to barbecue. Missy has volleyball net and ball. In the past someone was responsible for placing a sign on the highway.
The theme is Pass It On - Sponsor to Sponsee. Each group needs to pick a sponsor/sponsee pair to speak at the picnic.

John D. worked out the July schedule before leaving town. Wait until the July District meeting to discuss a regular group rotation.
