Tina S Treasurer: We have met with Richard and Ginny to hand over the bank account yesterday to me and Lesley. I also, want to thank Richard for helping with last months payments until we got the bank account handover, and I would probably be calling him for help this month as well! As of 3/10/19 we have $3, in the bank account. We were planning to have the prudent reserve of $7,500 after income from last month ($1,973) and donation to region ($5,400), world ($2,315). After paying the storage and comcast payments, and the substantial payment for literature ($3,518), we re below that level right now. Since literature order happens in large sum every couple of months, we should be back on track in the next 2 months considering average donation from groups. Also-wanted to check if we are donating 2 Basic Text as rent for ASC each month. Hazal G Vice Treasurer: All is well with Vice Treasurer, thank you for the opportunity to serve.

6 Ad Hoc I always want to share my recovery but I don t want to share my diseases-(any of them!) I have been diagnosed with the flu and will not be attending ASC today. On February 16 th we held a meeting to gauge interest in jointly hosting a 40 th birthday celebration for NA in Richmond. Approximately 20 addicts from New Dominion and the Richmond Area were in attendance. Interest was high so we moved forward with electing leadership for a joint committee to plan and host the event. Election results were as follows: Chair: Nancy L. (ND), Vice chair: Bobby D. (R), Treasurer: Jeff H. (ND) and Secretary: Chrissy R. (ND). Carol P (Richmond Special Events) and Coleen S. (New Dominion Special Events) volunteered to create a proposed program. Others volunteered to handle specific tasks at the event. The newly formed committee met on 3/3/19 at 1205 W Franklin St and more specifics were discussed including how to fund the event, the location, speakers/panels, refreshments, a dance and format. The Tri-Cities Area of NA has also volunteered to help with the event. The event will be May 18,2019 at 2300 Dumbarton Rd. The Fellowship Hall and the kitchen have been reserved. The next meeting of the Host Committee will be 3/17/19 2pm at Sterling Beaufont Apt. Clubhouse 6839 Carnation St Richmond Any addicts interested in helping are encouraged to attend.
