Subcommittee Reports:
H&I –Hello Area H&I met on Sat Feb 19th 19 addicts in attendance. Lafayette House Presentations are going well. 1 meeting missed because chairperson was ill. Jackee C. will be taking the 4th Thur. At LH replacing Debbie T. Ozark Center meetings are going well . One meeting missed because of Super Bowl Brian C showed up and center chose to watch football. Kenny C. will be doing 2nd Sunday each month. McDonald Co. jail Liaison reports that inmates are not coming out to meetings. House of Hope is back on track. Kenny C and Kevin F. will be taking meetings each month, so at this time we will not be dropping any meetings Jasper Co Jail is still giving us the run around. They have offered us the visitation room on a trial basis Allen F. is writing a letter asking for the trial basis to last only for 2 months then for us to be allowed to use the multipurpose room. These will not be presentations. It will be a one on one, over the phone. It could be monitored. There will be 2 H&I members each time and 2 inmates. I welcome any questions or input on the Jasper Co. Jail ILS Renita G. ILS Renita G.

Public Information -Hello Area, We held a pizza flyer day on Jan 22nd. We had 7 teams of two addicts who went around Joplin and posted 100 flyers over all. It was a good day. I took a literature rack down to the Newton Court House for drug court. They were happy to have it back. I also talked to Mandy at World Service Office about our new hotline number. They posted it on the city of Ozark instead of the Ozark Area. It should be taken care of. P.I. Will be holding a workshop at the HOLP in July We are also working on an all day presentation for South Middle School some time in April. I have extra phone line flyers if each group would like to have a few to give to their members maybe to post them at their jobs if it is allowed. That’s all for now Sincerely Bruce A
