- Nancy brought up the fact that last November we discussed asking people to give more money keeping in mind the cost of a drink. We had put that on hold because of gratitude month. John volunteered to put a notice in the book with the wording we accepted last November. Nancy looked up what was agreed upon last year and gave it to John.
Chips & Literature – Clark H.
The question was raised whether we should provide The Emotional Sobriety II books for a meeting that reads that book. It was discussed and decided that since that is an official meeting for Laurel Recovery and that is the format, we should provide the books. Clark will get 20 books for that meeting.
