Old Business:

· 12^th Step Panel—Annie spoke with Sybil who is interested in participating. Barb will ask Margaret; Brian will ask Eric. Barb suggested Mark N. Decided on a Saturday afternoon in late July. Lynn will check on availability at Uptown Bill’s. We will need to produce a flyer.

· Banquet/Auction—Late June. Barb will check availability at Mercy Medical Plaza and look into the catering. Heather will have the information on the caterer. Brian volunteered to find a speaker. Pete volunteered to do the flyer. Need to determine if we will sell advance tickets like in the past. Susan expressed concern over the auction, as it was used as a fundraiser in the past to pay for the office and office manager. Intergroup has no need to raise funds at the present time. Further discussion ended in agreement that we couldn’t hold the auction.

· Brian asked about the archive committee. Nothing has been done to date. Sean will talk with Tim and Jerry and report back next month.

· Annie and Tim have not completed the verification of the 12^th Step Call List. Annie will make a pact to complete by the end of summer.

New Business:

· District Report submitted by Sean. Broke even on the St. Patrick’s Day dance. An event is scheduled May 20 at Kent Park. At the Area Meeting in Marshalltown discussed the deficit at GSO. Encouraged groups to increase the percentage they give to GSO. GSO may need to do away with the large discount on books. Will vote on it in April

· Larry reported that Melrose had a hospitality room at Aim for Ames. It was nice to share the fellowship. He suggested that next year perhaps Intergroup would like to host a hospitality room.

· Annie inquired about having a round-up here. Felt it was something to consider for the future.

The meeting adjourned at 11:30.m.

Respectfully submitted by Susan H.
