[Businessmtg] Funds Over P.R.

[Anne K]

Hi! I'm Anne  :)

I carry one of the pamphlets from my welcome packet in my purse :)

But it occurs to me that ASP is an on-line meeting so maybe instead of sending a paper welcome packet to people who ask, what about providing a link to those podcasts on the WSO website that are for newcomers - 'First Steps to Al-Anon Recovery'? 

It appears to be free, it's on the public outreach page, and it wouldn't cost us any money - more to send to the WSO to keep up the podcasts :)  LOL 

And I don't remember asking for a welcome packet in my first f2f meeting - I think I was just handed one.

James, 

  

Thanks for your note. You can go to our Members Page (see below - way below 

at the bottom of all (most?) of the ASP letters we receive.) 

  

There there find the button for "Seventh Tradition." Then look for "Financial Reports." 

By going there you and any member can access every financial transaction ASP 

has ever made, line by line. Completely transparent (and much appreciated by the WSO.) 

  

It starts from the month that ASP became self supporting - when Steve turned over 

the reigns and his sole financial support - and is updated every month. 

  

Don't get me wrong - Beginner's Packets are wonderful. (I just found my original one 

yesterday! Yipee !) For some reason, though, they haven't taken off with our newcomers 

here at ASP. So as we address our Prudent Reserve and the resulting Excess Funds 

we're now talking about, accurate info is important to the discussion. 

  

Hugs, 

Jerry

Jerry, 

Please show down a bit. There was a lot of info you've just provided. 

I'm visual so I need to see perhaps a cash flow or profit and loss statement. Is that available somewhere? 

A P&L sheet will be very helpful in looking at the current situation and in creating a budget for the year ahead. It will also force us to look into sending people to those events you mentioned and other future expenses. For example, I didn't know that we don't give out packets to newcomers anymore although that was the group conscience in the past. 

James.
