Project for Three Year Term<br />
<ul>
<li>Alateen Awareness Workshop- there is a gap between Alateen and Al-Anon - what to do with 18-21 one year olds? Increase awareness of Alateen in general</li>
<li>Alateen Sponsor Workshop - sponsors better trained as they move into positions</li>
<li>Beginners Meetings</li>
</ul>
Special Presentation on Proposed Changes to Area Safety and Behavioral Requirements for Alateen Groups, Alateen Sponsors and AMIAS Alateen Discussion: Ben P and Kathi L<br />
<br />
1. Age change from 21 to 25 - seems too long<br />
Legal age is 18<br />
Alateens start attending Al-Anon meetings so they can give back<br />
Change age to 23 <br />
If the age is changed, current sponsors not meeting the requirement would be grandfathered in<br />
2. Keep age at 25<br />
Human brain not fully developed until mid 20's<br />
Emotional maturity is important<br />
3. Set up a structure to increase the number of Alateen speakers available for Al-Anon meetings<br />
4. There is a blog on the SCWS website to send email or make suggestions for items to be considered in conjunction with the proposed changes<br />
5. Recertification of Alateen Sponsors<br />
A process for certification already exists<br />
Recertification is annual<br />
Set a specific process for recertification where people answer the same questions they were asked when they first signed up<br />
Suggest a minimum number of questions to be asked during the recertification process<br />
More accountability in the recertification process<br />
Recert requires attendance at an annual workshop<br />
6. Attend Alateen Workshop<br />
There are specific modules<br />
Alateen Sponsor Coordinator gives a module at the workshops<br />
Background checks are multi-state<br />
Financial background checks not currently performed<br />
Background checks only done at initial certification<br />
Suggest random background checks every 3-5 years<br />
Suggested that Alateen M->M and F->F<br />
Teens sponsor teens and adults sponsor meetings<br />
7. Sponsors<br />
Need to attend at least one workshop a year<br />
Accountability is a concern<br />
SCWS would ensure on workshop a quarter was offered at different locations; supported by the District<br />
8. Resignation of Sponsors<br />
Sponsors will resign immediately if three (3) SCWS members see or hear of conflict<br />
Suggest that only elected positions have the authority to ask a sponsor to resign - too many people involved otherwiseAl-Anon District 63http://www.blogger.com/profile/17867157167663393216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487707765162307629.post-37608325553430722632012-03-25T11:46:00.003-07:002012-07-12T08:34:00.362-07:00Approved Minutes from January 28, 2012 MeetingDistrict 63 Meeting Minutes<br />

this was discussed at Sharing of Service, and it is uncertain how many there are in our district. The focus would be creating and mentoring these meetings.<br />
2. Increasing Alateen Meetings<br />
increase awareness and a workshop to increase effectiveness of Alateen sponsors<br />
3. Public Outreach in Schools<br />
It was decided that each rep would take these ideas back to their meetings and get group feedback about the focus. <br />
A vote about the focus will be held at the April Meeting.<br />

<br />
DR – business today and debrief Elaine and her committee<br />
Recertification effort to screen Alateen-preteen<br />
Hot topics – DR, is planning a committee meeting in November 2010, for hot topics - DR wants ideas from July 17, 2010, meeting <br />
<br />
Elaine is seeking more members (with past GR experience) for her committee - 3 year commitment. The purpose is to reach out to meetings in District 63 who do not have a GR and explain World Service. The “blurb” from April 17, 2010, meeting was also a topic ten years ago. Elaine couldn’t find “blurb” from ten years ago. Julie is attending today in place of Kelly.<br />
The plan is to attend ten meetings in District 63 to determine <br />
who leads the meetings and if they have a GR<br />
approach GR (or contact person) after the meeting<br />
reach out and invite them to attend the World Service meeting <br />
<br />
DR is to provide background of service commitment<br />
Support preteen and Alateen<br />
Reach out to groups without GR’s<br />
Create a report of all District 63 groups with and without GR’s<br />
<br />
Phase 1 plan: Elaine and Kelly to brainstorm to determine what attracts old and new people to volunteer. <br />
<br />
Elaine and Kelly have checked out the online system for signing up to be a GR.<br />
<br />
Cathy provided input that the online system “works”<br />
Forms are provided<br />
Bob submitted something at the April meeting but it is invalid<br />
Thanks for the cooperation of Lisa, Kelly, Colleen, Elaine, Cathy in forming the committee<br />
Elaine: discussion on how to implement the back up documentation <br />
Kathy: does she receive “all” forms at the World Service office?<br />
<br />
Kathy (World Service Office representative) has consolidated a list as a result of what has been submitted at 7/17 meeting and she has brought hard copies of documentation from the office to explain the function, policy and procedure. Kathy’s goal is that World Service records and District 63 records match.<br />
<br />
CMA = current mail address, with forms specify GR, etc.<br />
<br />
If the group is not active then there is no mail status. It is important to update current mail recipient.<br />
<br />
Per Kathy: SCWS procedure use PO Box for permanent central mail address<br />
<br />
Elaine to submit the report Kathy’s provided at the July 17 meeting – you can find this report on line at www.scwsalanon.org – there is a link to the form. Add your group number to the form. The hard copy Kathy brought to the July 17 meeting is being circulated for each person to confirm correct information and initial approval – if you want a copy of the report you can print one by going on line. Area coverage from San Luis Obispo to San Diego and east to California/Nevada boarder. Kathy’s area consists of District 63 plus<br />
<br />
Policy and procedure per Kathy – to name your group (i.e. Tustin, Saturday am - Hope for Today) when choosing a name for your group you cannot use the facility location as part of the name (i.e. Kaiser Sunday pm). The form has instructions.<br />
<br />
Elaine’s goal is to complete the form and provide it as an example to the rest of the groups in District 63. Explanation of group representative numbers.<br />
<br />
Kathy: when sending local World Service office and VA World Service office donations from a group meeting (i.e. Tustin, Saturday AM meeting) include the identifying group number<br />
<br />
Randi: Emphasis that any donations (i.e. 7/17 district meeting) home meeting group must reimburse you for your donation.<br />
<br />
Kathy input: People who attend the World Service meetings should be reimbursed by their home group for any donation they make for 7th tradition and for mileage to and from the meetings<br />
<br />
ALATEEN<br />
Jim: Southern California Alateen Coordinator position this is a three year commitment; information regarding the position can be obtained from the Alateen web site – the position is open-ended until someone else wants the position and there are no qualifications.<br />
<br />
DR report: Alateen/Preteen at World Service level requires that sponsors be certified. There are 35 people on the list in District 63 – 12 have been re-certified. There are three new applications. It is legally required that the sponsor be certified. How can we assist District 63 to re-certify sponsors.<br />
<br />
DR: Request that everyone please help circulate information to all sponsors who need to be re-certified. The form is a one page document. The “not certified” sponsors are suspended and they are not aware of their status. Encourage everyone to become a certified sponsor for Alateen or Preteen. Kelly is working on a flyer for Sponsorship. Kelly or Jim previously brought this up – brainstorm.<br />
<br />
Lisa: have preteen/alateen attend regular group meetings to solicit support and sponsors<br />
<br />
Vicky: Have a workshop/presentation with the goal to enroll new sponsors and show the benefits at family level<br />
<br />
Jim will email secretary a copy of alateen/preteen treasury report for SCAC – Jim offered to supply any/all treasury reports to 7/17 meeting participants via email.<br />
<br />
DR: Lisa volunteered to assist with workshop. It was suggested that WS person attend an alateen/preteen meeting – be sure to arrive early. The procedure is to ask sponsor’s permission to attend meeting – sponsor will then approach alateen/preteen attendees for their approval.<br />
<br />
Lisa solicits other volunteers to assist her with workshop event and withdraws herself from Elaine’s committee.<br />
<br />
Lisa names alateen/preteen work shop event volunteers: Joe, Judy, Vicky and Randi and asks for ideas with a commitment for the 10/16 meeting.<br />
<br />
Judy: have alateen/preteen speak at meetings – this can be a goal of the 2009 to 2010 3 year commitment.<br />
<br />
Elaine and others – part 2 no participation, just de-list two groups – no interaction – Michelle and Judy<br />
<br />
Colleen: List issues to benefit newcomers – so they will know what is acceptable and not acceptable – alanon v. non alanon.<br />
<br />
Randi: What does a healthy group look like; also for alateen/preteen too. What about adult meeting where alateen/preteen are present – on the beach (like in Seal Beach)<br />
<br />
Cathy: Violation of confidentiality – this has happened when email addresses are included along with the phone numbers on the group meeting list – someone will email a group of people and one recipient can then email to outsiders <br />
<br />
DR: Confidentiality issue regarding telephone and email contact information<br />
Randi: no email, no cross talk – make an overall statement at the meeting – get more input for Cathy to take back to individual meetings. <br />
<br />

The district committee will need about two weeks to buy the items and construct the basket. I figured we would need all the money collected from your meetings on or before March 5th, 2010. If you have any other comments or questions, please email me. <br />
<br />
For those of you who volunteered or would like to volunteer to help out on the district committee for making the gift basket, we will be meeting on Saturday, February 27th at Bob & Michelle's house @ 10:00AM. Their address is 14881 Oaktree Circle, Huntington Beach, CA 92647. The theme of the gift basket is "Huntington Beach, 50's, Surf and Dancing." All suggestions and ideas are welcomed. <br />
