OLD BUSINESS
A. ISO: follow-up with one topic per month. Decision was made to poll members at various mtgs about interest in a national convention of SCA. A simple form will be passed around in basket and also available on our website. Peter and Jeff agreed to prepare/coordinate the survey. Reps. should bring results to next Intergroup mtg.
B. Website/Newsletter: June newsletter will include info on “Recovery tools & Internet”; announce date/place of Day of Recovery; dates of 2006 ISO gathering in Chicago. Final draft will be presented for approval at June Intergroup mtg. So far 2500 hits on website; ads continue in the Reader.
C. Workshops – Ted/Todd/Peter: Ted reported that 7 people who attended workshop on Internet found it very helpful. Low attendance was attributed to weather. Suggestion was made to post materials from workshop on website. Two concerns: copyright permission and need to clarify that we are not “endorsing” any products (Net Nanny, etc). We are just letting people know what is available. Next workshop is on Sponsorship.
D. Location for Day of Recovery: Mike distributed handout with all the details on seven possible sites. After discussion, motion was made and passed unanimously to select “Unity” as the location. Date is Sat.Oct.22nd.
