At the
present, we are still under contract with Lamar Advertising for the Beckley
Billboard, which will expire 05/28/17.
If anyone in other areas wants to consider the region placing a
billboard in your area, please bring your ideas to the April RCM.
One of the
other ideas we have been discussing is to place literature in hospital waiting
rooms. I would like any area that is
doing this to get in touch with their RCM to relay information to the regional
PR subcommittee.
During RSC we received approval for $500 to
fund the purchase & shipping of 34 Basic texts to various Hospitals &
institutions. This was a match of books
that were donated to the region.
We also
received approval for $700 to fund our attendance at the annual National
Association Social Workers of WV conference to be held April 26-28. The breakdown was $450 for registration and
$250 for literature.
Regional
Delegate:
Not a lot has happened since the last time we
met. We've had a couple of mailings from NAWS. One of the items in there is a
request to help with an environmental scan which we have decided to do at our
biannual inventory/planning session in March. I would encourage everyone
interested in world service to attend.
We had a conference call with our zone in late October and discussed our
proposal to limit participation to RD's and alts during our work sessions.
There appears to be a general consensus that some guidelines in this area would
be helpful. We will try to vote on
something at our next meeting. Also we
are hopefully going to participate in a virtual workgroup meeting with NAWS on
the Future of the WSC Project. Since the World Board has decided not form an
actual workgroup due to financial restraints, we will be attempting to have
interested conference participants take part in a virtual meeting, the first of
which just happens to be during our next AZF meeting at 1 pm. I contacted the hosting region about the
possibility of us participating. Our
next AZF meeting is January 28 in South Boston VA, and we will be attending
MARLCNA February 10-12. We are asking
for $908 in expenses to attend these events.

The Finance
Committee is asking for Area’s and Home Group’s to discuss opportunities for
our Region to save on expenses.
****THE
FOLLOWING IS A LETTER PROPOSING A SOLUTION TO THE REGION TO SAVE ON
EXPENSES****
Dear Fellow
Trusted Servants,
I am writing this letter to address what is a
difficult issue for many of us, and that is the raising and spending of money
at the regional level. This issue is part of several discussions that came up
at our last RSC. The first one was a request by the convention chair that we
reimburse for the cost of attending RSC if requested. The second was a request
in finance by a member that area discuss ways that our region could save money.
Lastly we had two motions regarding the convention committee’s decisions on the
registration fees. In addition it should be noted that our region spent a
little bit more that it took in over the previous four quarters. While these
discussions are all separate, none of them exist in a vacuum. They are all tied
together by a common thread—the raising and spending of money. Generally
speaking I would like to see us fund anyone who has a responsibility to fulfill
on our behalf at the regional level, but I would to take a more comprehensive
approach because to approve more spending without addressing the rest would be
unwise in my opinion. I would like to suggest a solution that addresses both
the raising and spending of money within the convention because that’s where
the majority of our money is raised and spent. Savings first. We spend several
thousand dollars per year on rooms for trusted servants at our convention. It
would be cheaper to reserve rooms in Lakes, Cedars, or Main Lodge or do a Dorm
Conversion than to get rooms in Holt ($22/person cheaper). The treasurer can
lock up the checkbook in his/her car if necessary. Everyone is free to make
other arrangements entirely at their own expense. We could save $400-500 a year
this way.
Now for
raising money—there are few other events that I am aware of that charge $20 for
registration anymore. Most are $30 or $40 or more. Ours has been the same for a
very long time. We have not accounted for inflation. It is reasonable to
consider raising it to
$30. We
could bring in significantly more money (however many people register times
ten), and we would still be one of the less expensive conventions around. I
realize the suggestions are not going to make everyone happy, but I believe it
is time for some big picture consideration. I also believe that we need to
consider this proposal as one piece rather than two. I don’t think it is fair
to ask for an increase in our registration fee without also offering a
reduction in expenses, and doing both also puts us in a much better long term
financial position. I am hopeful that we can come together and move forward
with our region on firm financial footing. The status quo is not
sustainable.
Yours in
service, Cooper

Activities
GTOANA-ASC-Activities
Subcommittee Report, March 2017
Greetings ASC
No activities
were held in the month of March. The subcommittee is currently planning for our
next event, the GTO Annual Campout.
As advised
earlier, the event is scheduled for Memorial Day Weekend, Friday, May 26
through Monday, May 29 (Monday is a bonus day … most folks depart Sunday).
The campout
will be held at Old Town Campground in Point Pleasant. Robbie C. has made
contact with the campground and everything is set for the weekend.
The campground
is charging members $14 per night for camping. A pool is available for
swimming, and the cost of $5 per day will be handled by the campground. We plan
to again rent the activities building for Saturday and Sunday at a cost of $75
per day (we still may only have to pay for one day … the campground owner said
she would work with us on that and will also allow us access to it Friday
afternoon/evening for us to put items in the refrigerator and to have access to
the additional restrooms). The total on the building is yet to be determined.
A tentative
plan of activities, etc., which was compiled at the March subcommittee meeting,
was posted on the Facebook Tri-State Recovery page (a private page) to solicit
input on the activities and for suggestions. There were no comments other than
members looking forward to the event. Tommy R. did advise he could provide some
firewood for the event. As the date draws closer, we will coordinate with him
to get this done.
More about
the event and activities were to be discussed at today's (March 19, 2017)
subcommittee meeting.

be of service

6. RCM and
RCM-Alternate
A Regional
Committee Member (RCM) is to an ASC what a GSR is to a group. As the
representative of the area, the RCM speaks to the Regional committee on behalf
of the members and the groups of the area service committee. The primary
responsibility of an RCM is to work for the good of NA, providing two-way
communication between the area and the rest of NA, particularly neighboring
ASCs. They represent the group conscience of an ASC at a regional level and
provide the area with the agenda for the RSC at least ten (10) days before the
RSC meets. An RSM attends all regional service committee meetings and takes
part in any decisions which affect the region, speaking as the voice of the
ASC’s group conscience. An RCM may serve on one or more of its ASC or RSC committees.
The office
of the RCM also parallels that of the GSR in that it is a two (2) year
commitment. The first year of service is spent as an RCM-Alternate, becoming
familiar with the job, attending all ASC and RSC meetings, and filling in for
the RCM if he/she is absent. If for any reason the RCM is unable to complete
the full term, the RCM-Alternate assumes the office of RCM for the remainder of
the two-year commitment. A special election shall be held to elect a new
RCM-Alternate to serve the remainder of the two-year term, followed by the
one-year term as RCM. An RCM must be able to work for the common good, placing
principles before personalities at all times. Therefore, in addition to the
regular qualifications for GSRs, it is recommended that nominees to the post of
RCM also have:
a.
Suggested minimum of three (3) years continuous abstinence from all drugs, and
working knowledge of NA steps and traditions.
b. One (1)
year service experience as a GSR.
c. The
willingness to give the time and resources necessary for the job.
d. To
submit a monthly, written report to the ASC.
7.

a. Are
trusted servants of the area and directly responsible to the ASC and its
policies.
b.
Subcommittee chairpersons are responsible for providing meeting time(s) and
location(s) for the ASC minutes.

the subcommittee’s work.
d. Ensure

e. May make
motions pertaining to the business of their subcommittee.
f. Are
appointed by the ASC Chairperson upon recommendation of that subcommittee,
subject to majority confirmation of the GSRs.
g. May
succeed themselves, but should not serve more than two (2) consecutive terms.
h.
Suggested one (1) year continuous abstinence from all drugs, and a working
knowledge of NA steps and traditions.
i. Previous
six (6) months service experience as a member of that subcommittee.
