New Business
Issues for the NA Board
- Michele is Southside Board Representative, any issues for the board are to be brought to Michele to take to the board.
GSF Reports
- Subcommittee reports to have a 5 – 7-minute time frame to present their reports at GSF meetings to allow time for all agenda items to be discussed.
Traditions being included at GSF
- Suggested that instead of the service prayer being read out at the beginning of GSF instead we read out a section from the Traditions in the hopes it will help us practice unity.
GSF Chairperson
- Has been agreed for strong members to chair at the GSF over the coming months to help keep GSF discussions on topic.
Next LSC – August 17th (date to be confirmed)
- Will be hosted online – 3 speaker jam with service meetings held in between, inspired service topics, very strong speakers with a lot of clean time.
World Unity Day – September 5th 2021
Logan’s 12 Step Feast Unity Day – 17th July
- Was voted to postpone event due to COVID-19 restriction on numbers allowed in venue
- New date will be decided at a later time when restrictions are eased
