Dan A had a question about what checks have cleared, Deb clarified. She keeps the report in line with the bank statement. See treasurer’s report posted below.

Website Report: Herb reports nothing new and as always open to questions and comments.

Service Report: Michael A. shared two chair positions have turned over. Michael reports the alternative GSR and Grapevine positions have expired. Darlene shared her term had not yet expired. Mary made a motion to align the timing for the GSR and the alternate GSR to start and stop at the same time. Molly seconded the motion. Discussion ensued, Dan A shared he wasn’t aware we actually had an alternate GSR. Herb shared and suggested we keep it staggered. It gives the alternate GSR time for training before the GSR finishes their term. Darlene commented-she did not know we had an alternate GSR and also recommended it be a staggered position. Jeff H. recalled we had two willing members at the time to be GSR so that’s how we landed with an alternate. There were three in favor of the motion four opposed, and three abstained- the motion did not carry. The GSR and alternate GSR will remain staggered Michael A. shared we will need a new alternate GSR, Dan A suggested we make announcements periodically in the daily meeting to see who may be interested and vote on that position next month.

Books and Coins: May reports no activity this month shared the reminder we will be gifting a one year celebrant a year subscription to the Grapevine

Grapevine Report: Darlene will be bringing the Grapevine to the movie event on May 17 at the Madison Art Cinema.

New business: next month we will elect an alternate GSR.

Molly made a motion to adjourn the Meeting Dan A seconded all were in favor meeting adjourned 8:55.

Yours in Service,
