Treatment: Terry G.
Terry needs 2 volunteers for Bridging the Gap. 6 month sober required. Update contact information and let groups know about Bridging the Gap. Terry will call Sam at Pardee. There are things we can do to help during Covid, such as being a phone contact to someone just leaving treatment, and guiding them to some Zoom meetings.
Freedom From Bondage workshop has been cancelled. Important to get meetings back into the prisons when Covid restrictions are lifted.
Scott offered Terry a page on the website to put all her treatment information on. Please contact Terry with any suggestions or ideas.

Checks can be put in the box. If the door is opened to answer a question, do not enter the office. A Reminder that treatment facilities are not affiliated with AA.
GSR Updates:
Laurie from Sober Sisters was asking about the contribution percentage split that is recommended. Each group is autonomous and can divide the contributions any way they see fit. One suggested way is 50% Central office 39% GSO 10% district 10% area. Dale said that New York has the greatest need for contributions at this time.
