ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS:

Chair:

  Hello Ozark Area, It has been going well in Ozark area except for a few things like not having enough trusted servants to fill the chairs.  I think we have taken care of the areas business very well and in a timely manner.  I’ve been asked if there is any way that the High on Life Picnic could be held in our area?  Other than that I don’t have much to report

 

I.L.S.

Kenny C.

 

Vice-Chair:

  I attended yesterday’s sub committee meetings from 1:30 – 5:15pm.  7 addicts attended PI’s meeting. 6 addicts attended AASC. 5 addicts attended H&I.  Only one GSR was in attendance at these meetings.  I appreciate the support addicts are giving to our sub committees.  We can always use more help.

 

Thank you for the opportunity to serve

Shellie V.

 

Secretary:

  I am updating the Trusted Servants, Sub committee’s, and the GSR’s Names, addresses, phone number, and anyone who has an email address.  If you are in a new position, please put the information on your OASC reports.  The Trusted Servants & Names and Address are for me to keep up with getting the OASC minutes to you each month.  They are not shared with anyone and they do not go on the web site.
