EMZ Business Meeting Minutes September 22, 2024
Paul started the meeting with the
Serenity Prayer and read Tradition 9: “A.A., as such, ought never be organized; but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.”
Old Business:
- From last month’s meeting, Fred made a motion that we put a 3 minute timer on the screen during meetings when people are sharing so they know when to wrap up. The motion was tabled to be revisited in today’s Business Meeting.
- Fred asked to withdraw the motion after he got feedback from several meeting members. Motion is withdrawn.
New Business: None
