Gina went over the treasury. We have an ending balance of $338.36 Spent $93 on Reaching Outs, $15.20 for World Lit, $15 for Rent, and a deposit of $6
Somehow we messed up on getting the pizza for last Octobers Meeting. Kevin from Hastings said he was contacted by Pizza Hut for an unpaid bill of $89.50 The Area was under the assumtion that it was taken care of. We cut a check for the amount and Kevin will write an apology for our mistake.
Also, we are still looking for a new treasurer. PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO ASK FOR NOMINATIONS! Gina volunteered to be the temporary treasurer. Thanx again Gina!

The hand stamp is still in the works. It seems the stamp is in but only George can pick it up. Gina will try to contact George and get that done. She also has a check in case it's needed.

Remember if you want your functions on the Web page all you have to do is send them to me.

Internal Communication Chair
Danny K., Southeast Area
Qualifications: I cleaned up on June 15, 1981. I have a sponsor that I have recently increased my efforts to communicate with on a regular basis. I'm working the steps. I attend my home group every Monday evening, the Road to Recovery meeting in LIncoln. I've served that group as secretary, treasurer, GSR and alternate GSR. I've served SENANA by completing terms as: PI chair and vice-chair, treasurer, ASC chair and vice-chair; I've been involved in PI and H&I in various ways. I am currently SENANA's web-servant and moderator for an NA email discussion group. I've served the NE RSC by completing terms as: PI chair and vice chair, treasurer, RSC Chair and vice chair, convention treasurer, RSR and alternate RSR. I've served as a voting member of the World PI Committee. I haven't sought an elected position in NA for several years but I have helped my area's PI committee to produce their meeting list and hI helped the regional PI committee to produce their quarterly meeting list and quarterly mailing, as well as some local area H&I related services. I do beleive my experience with web page building and editing would be an asset to the committee. As already noted, I do have previous experience chairing service committees - both newly formed and mature, established committees. Communication of information at the regional level is a key of effectively and efficiently carrying the message. I'm convinced that God is leading me to serve NA, by using what he has given me, to chair the Ne RSC Internal Communications Committee. I've been praying that I'll be able to serve in this way.

So far the New Day Group is the only Group with votes. They are Larry R. and Danny K.

This Area has got the bid for the 2001 NA Regional Convention. The theme is " Trust the Process" We need lotsa help on this everyone. The next meeting will be at 3:15 on Sunday, the 8th of April, after the Area Meeting.

The Area has formed an H&I Sub-Committee. It will meet before next month's Area at 1:00 . If this committee doesn't get any support we will have to tell the Hall Co. Jail that we cannot bring a meeting there at this time. We need to encourage all those who want this to happen to show up.

The White books are in. We are waiting on the hand stamp to procede.

July Funtion; The Thursday nite VA meeting and the Alda Meeting have asked to host the street dance. The Area was ok with that.

Gina is ordering 20 copies of the 12 concepts for distribution throughout the Area. (I think she ordered 12 copies)

There was much discussion on carrying votes and other infomation back to Groups. It's seems some people are unsure about who does this or even when it gets done. It was decided that every Group needs to decide how to do it. The important thing was making sure the every addict has a voice if they want to use it.

We have replaced our current Area Represenitives. Lin has volunteered to be a temporary Rep for the April Region Meeting. The Area felt our Reps should attend the Area meetings.

IMPORTANT! If possible, try to get some Basic texts and Just For Todays signed and returned to me so I can take them down to McCook so Gilbert can take them with him to Peru. I'll be going down for the Chili thing on the 24th.

Next Area meeting the 8th of Apr., 2001, at St Stephens Church, Grand Island.
The H&I Sub-Comm. will meet at 1:00
The Area is from 1:30 to 3:00
The Convention Comm. will meet from 3:15 to 5:00
