Discussion… there are benefits of GSF not holding money, if unity day is going to be big we can ask the LSE for funding. Carma asked about fund flow. The lunchie was mentioned to be going well financially. Prudent reserve was explained. Gretal expressed a desire to not get involved in money matters, JJ thinks we should hold groups financially accountable. Syra felt it is important to tell people how much money the groups have. Cassandra is pro group reports at the GSF.
It was decided a group workshop on the service structure will be held next month before a decision is made about the format of future GSF. Gretal to organize someone from outside the bayside area to speak at it.

Next committee meeting for Unity Day to be held 2/7/22 4pm at Alex Hills
It is important to get behind Unity Day, it is so exciting for our area. Announce at meetings that service positions are available and there is a lot to do, everyone is invited and it’s a great opportunity to share and have fun in recovery.

Workshops
There are PowerPoint presentations available for use. Important to get members from other areas to speak at workshops and pick topics important to local members, discretion as to topics comes down to members seeking information on topics that they would like to learn about and then planning for that workshop soon, EG next workshop to be in regard to how the GSF will be run and will be in 1 months’ time. Monthly workshops are not deemed viable.

Literature and a stand from Nicole that was taken from a closed meeting has been donated to the bayside area.

Other agenda items carried over to next meeting due to time constraints.

There will be a plastic box that contains information to be passed on to each suburb as it is their turn to hold the GSF. Groups are expected to send a GSR.
