NOTES FROM THE MEETING:
The Fairview Heights Group needs support. The road construction is a pain, but you are still allowed to go to meetings at the Caseyville Township Hall on Bunkum Road.
The Cahokia Serenity Group now meets at the Maplewood Church of Christ. They used to meet at the Community Outreach Center, but the building has been sold. The street address for the church is: 3530 Falling Springs Road, Cahokia IL. It is just a little ways up the road from the old meeting place.
Corned Beef & Cabbage 2007: This event will be held on 17 March 2007 at the Cathedral Grade School. The food has been arranged for and a time to pick it up has been set. The DJ has been secured. Plus, we have a good cook all lined up. All is a go!
Answering Svc (Ethereal T. – 233-7104): A lot of calls being received by members in East St Louis.
Corrections (Doug T. – 337-8451): There was a whole lot of discussion on the subject of buying literature for the AA meetings at SWICC. A lot of pro and con statements were made. Questions were raised by many. Paula is going to the area assembly next weekend and will bring the question up there for those who are in correctional work in other districts. This was tabled (I think) until at least the April meeting.
