Intergroup CFC Meeting Minutes Monday, May 18, 2015 8:00 PM at Intergroup Office

Call to Order: Jo Jo S./Chair called the meeting to order at 8:00 PM with a moment of silence followed by the

Serenity Prayer.

Present 17 Souls Newcomers (4): Drew (Cypress), Ralph (Delta), Tammy (Bellaire Women’s), Tricia M. (Telge Rd Women’s) Additional Souls (13) Chuck M., Elizabeth S., Gary B., Jim K., Jo Jo S., John L., Larry L., Marie D., Michael S., Richard D., Roland R., Roy E, Tom K.

Secretary’s Report - The April 2015 Minutes were distributed and read. Changed the minutes to reflect that

Elizabeth (not Daniel) gave the White Can Report. Jim motioned to accept the Minutes. Marie seconded the motion. The motion passed with Chuck in opposition.

Treasurer’s Report - Marie presented the April 2015 Treasurer’s Report as follows:

Reconciled Balance $3,566.70 Additional Deposits $3,336.85 Updated Balance $6,903.55 Money owed for April Books & Mail-outs $2,230.50 7th Tradition Money $310.85 Money Available for Books $4,589.77

Marie mentioned that she received a check from a group that listed their Group # but not Group Name. She didn’t know how to include the money into the White Can Report. Suggestion was that she call World Services and have them reconcile the Group Name and #.

Larry motioned to accept the Treasurer's Report. Michael seconded the motion. The motion passed Chuck & Paul in opposition.

White Can Report - The April 2015 White Can Report was summarized by Elizabeth. The total amount of the

report for April is accurate ($3,492.81), but were some discrepancies for money allotted to various groups. There was some confusion as to group names, such as “Journey Group” vs. “Our Common Journey”. Those should be 2 separate groups and were categorized as one for this report. Corrections will be made before the May report. Jim motioned to accept the Minutes. Marie seconded the motion. The motion passed with Chuck in opposition.

Correspondence Report - Larry reported:

Total of 10 letters received; ◦ 2 from Harris County Jail (SETA) ◦ Received 3 letters from Donald B/Walls for Chuck, Roy & Belinda ◦ Request from Lynchner for a large print Big Book - Chuck had one - Will give to Daniel to take in ◦ Bridging the Gap - 2 Men, 1 Woman ◦ Correspondence - 18 Men, 1 Woman ◦ Literature - 1 Woman

Jim motioned to accept the Literature Report. Elizabeth seconded the motion. The motion passed with Chuck in opposition.
