SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS

Admin

Those present were: Joe, Fred, Arnezia, Melissa, Jeremy, Susan, Matt.

John P. with H & I emailed his report to Susan to be read during ASC

meeting. John reported that a new Deputy was going to move into the

position at Gwinnett County Jail but they were continuing to show up for the

scheduled H & I meetings there in interim. It was suggested that PR may

need to go and talk with new Deputy to explain our traditions and

procedures for H & I. Joe B. said they could arrange that.

Joe B. with PR reported they had done a literature inventory and were

planning to give an order to Arnezia for PR Poster Drive and were planning

to print some Serenity Prayer Bookmarks for Gwinnett County Fair Booth

on color card stock with Helpline number on back.

Fred RCMA explained that they had received the minutes from Region.

Susan explained she had not received the Activities Calendar from Paul S.

She asked Joe if Region webservant could increase the size of files allowed

to be uploaded onto eeascna WordPress website. At present maximum

allowed file to upload is 8 mb and some minutes files and other types of files

were larger than that. Region webservant is increasing server space and

shifting to WordPress websites.

Jeremy asked all Admin Panel to stay a few minutes after the Area meeting

for further discussion.

H & I – See Attached Report

Treasurer – See Attached Report

PR/Phone Joe B. passed a signup sheet for PR Volunteers for PR Poster Drive and for

members to sign up for two hour blocks of time for Gwinnett County Fair

time requirement and members with less time would be paired with those

who were more experienced. The Fair Booth is a Regional PR Event and

that there would be members coming from West End, South Atlanta, and

North Atlanta to support this event as well as Region PR committee Trusted

Servants. He explained that September is Recovery Month and that Schools
