[Businessmtg] meeting expenses & PR funds abundance.

[Anne O.]

Hi Emee,

Each month I pass the basket to the regular meeting group.  In that
email/passed basket, I include a link to the financial page that
includes financial reports.  Our financial pages list the parameters of
our prudent reserve and a line by line of expenses and donations.  

I have pasted the link below.  After reading about the 7th tradition and
mailing information there is another link to the financial reports, it
appears at the bottom of the page.  

http://www.asp-afg.org/ASP/Business/7th_tradition.htm

I send the email out after I have done the monthly reconciliation on the
account.  A copy of each month's bank statement is also sent to our List
Administrator monthly.  If you have any additional questions please let
me know, I am happy to address any and all questions the group has.
Anything I can't answer I am sure can be answered by Jerry.

In 2008, after voting on Newcomers packets, ASP purchased 70 packets for
distribution.

Hugs,

Anne

After taking care of our meeting's needs first, I agree that I would
like to send quarterly contributions to WSO.  Is there any reason why
WSO could not accept a contribution from us as an on-line meeting?
Wouldn't think so but not sure. We do have a position that would be
considered a service arm for our on-line meeting and that is the OLAIS
position.  If we ever fill this position, would this require any
additional funds?  We voted a while back to give out newcomers packets.
Newcomers packets were to be sent to new members of ASP who are also
brand new members of Al-Anon...who requested them. I don't recall how we
had decided to inform our newcomers of this service or whether any
packets were ever distributed. Would like to hear from our treasure/s
about this. Expenses for Newcomers packets could be large part of our
groups expenses.
 
I would think that purchasing the softwear we need, to bring our online
meeting up to date and running smoothly, would also be part of our
meeting's 1st priority on the expense list.  I think it is important for
us to know exactely all of what  our 'group's' expenses are and to see
an updated treasure's report (presented at each new business meeting) so
that we know what we are working with. Emee
