The Central Office is in the rare situation of having extra cash on hand. What do you think we should do with it? Here are some ideas already offered:
- Lower prices of certain books: Big Books, 12 &12s, etc.
- Purchase Grapevine/La Vina subscriptions for North County physicians, clergy, mental health professionals, or others who come across people with drinking problems.
- Host breakfast or lunch events for clergy, lawyers, doctors, military, mental health professionals, police, etc.
- Distribute literature to school nurses/social workers/teachers, etc.
- Distribute and regularly re-stock pamphlet distribution to non-profit health care clinics throughout North County. This might involve collaboration with the North County Spanish Central Office.
- Contact the North County LGBTQ Center to get on the radar for PRIDE next year.
- Place a communication in the READER, THE PAPER, COASTAL DISPATCH, MILITARY TIMES, and other publications that are widely distributed in North County.
- Central office speaker meeting with adjustments to make it more public information focused.
- Meet with NSDYPAA to discuss getting young people involved in 12 step ideas and new ways to reach younger people.
- Workshop to discuss safety in meetings for new members. This includes sexual advances as well as members taking advantage of financial issues of new people. Signs for old-timers notice and intervene.
- 12th Step workshop to have members learn and discuss service opportunities in AA.
- Have more events like the Traditions Breakfast.
- Contribute to ASL.
- Host fun events like bowling, Padres games, picnics, etc.
