Meeting Minutes May, 2000
Due to the approaching departure of the editor, this early edition
of SN will not included the meeting minutes. Please see the message below.
A special note to all
the readers of Sobriety News.
It has been my pleasure to serve as the editor of SN for the
last year and a few months. May 15th I will leave the area for an exciting
new work position in another state. Due to this, Intergroup is in need
of an SN editor. We have had much success with the email/internet delivery
of SN and hope to continue this tradition. If you are interested
in becoming the editor of Sobriety News, please contact Karen P. or your
Intergroup Representative.
I guarantee that this service to AA is a fulfilling one.
Yours in sobriety,
Brian F.
