Subcommittee Reports

Admin – We discussed Area Meeting plans for September, since the 2nd Sunday will fall on

Labor Day Weekend. EEASCNA can’t postpone to the following weekend because that is when

Region meets. What do the GSR’s want to do? H&I will discuss what is going on at Rockdale

women’s meeting. PR will need help with booth at the Fair. Also there are some problems with

helpline phone not rolling over to live person. Activities is doing final preparations for Unity

Day. Secretary would like to edit the group report form and will submit a sample form to GSR’s

for their approval. Facilitator would like to add a new section to the meeting agenda—a

moment for representatives to “check-in” about how things are that day or what has been

going on with them, before regular business is conducted.

Treasurer – REPORT ATTACHED

RCM— REPORT ATTACHED. Fred also added that there has been discussion on Region floor

about doing a history book on the history of NA in GA, though at this time there is nothing to

take back to groups.

Open Forum

Vaping during meetings is distracting, can we bring discussion back to home groups by GSR’s.

Also, use of electronic cigarettes inside building may jeopardize meeting location. Suggestion

made for groups to add statement to meeting format.

Elaine J. said she is the only woman going into the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Department Jail on

Wednesday nights. H&I Chair said he would talk specifically to Deputy Callahan.

September Area would fall on Labor Day weekend. A quick straw poll revealed that a majority

of people will be in town and available to attend. Ultimately, this is a group decision.

Groups that need support:

NA Way - Let the Truth be Told - Far Out - Just for Today - Changing in Grayson

New Business

NONE

Take Back to Groups

Nominations

Need qualified and willing trusted servants: Co-Facilitator, Alt. Treasurer, H&I Vice, PR

Vice, RCMA (Fred’s time is up in December as RCM but he is willing to stick around and

help new RCM & RCMA).

To be voted on: Nothing at this time

For Discussion:

GSR’s/Admin, think about September Area falling on Labor Day weekend. Are you ok

with keeping this date??

E E A S C N A M i n u t e s - J u l y 2 0 1 5 P a g e 6 | 20

Is there anything your homegroup can do to support other meetings in need?

Has your homegroup chosen a representative to speak at Unity Day (5-8 mins)?

Who is willing to man the PR booth at the Gwinnett County Fair?

Plans for the next meeting

The next Area Service will be held Aug 2nd at Summit Ridge at 3pm.
