Business
Lisa and Joe, Co-Chairs of the May 14th Alateen Workshop held in Costa Mesa gave reports. Lisa thanked committee members Judy and Randi, as well as the District Board members and others who helped organize the setup. The event was well attended, the room worked out well, parking was plentiful, and the agenda with Alateen speakers and sponsors was very informative on how Alateen meetings work. There was a session on how to start an Alateen meeting and two people expressed interest in starting a meeting. The budget allotted for the event was $275.00, and $300.00 was the actual cost.
Motion was made by Michelle to use $75.00 from the District 63 Alateen fund to help Los Alamitos start up their Alateen meeting. It was seconded by Lisa. Approval was unanimous.
Bob updated the list of District 63 meetings without GR’s, after checking Kathi’s L.’s input.
Bob discussed “hot topics” for the August 20th Assembly meeting. Our group chose the following: “How to Handle Outside Issues”, “What Does a Healthy Meeting Look Like?”, and “Rotation of Leadership.”
Discussion was held on whether the Monday night 7:00 PM Seal Beach Meeting is in District 57 or 63, and it was determined by their meeting that it is in District 63.
