[Businessmtg] Fwd: Packet Cost

[Tori Sciacca]

I am happy to match Jerry’s annual earmarked donation for Newcomer packs. 

We pass the basket for special collections all the time in ftf meetings. Can we do a special collection for this, to get the project going? (really hard for me to make that a question instead of a statement).

I do not live in the, what if’s, of the future. 
Just for today, it appears we can afford to offer this tool to newcomers to Al-Anon. 
Not all newcomers to ASP are new to Al-Anon. 
If there comes a time when we cannot afford to do this, we can change our position. 

Sue, with Group Services, at WSO, is on vaca this week. Hopefully, next week, she can shed some light on how other eGroups manage this service. 

I believe, where there’s a will, there’s a way. 
I believe, this is the right thing to do, to serve those new to Al-Anon. 
If we want to be of service in this way, the path will present itself and the money will come.

With a separate account, so the money wouldn't get sent off to our Area or the WSO quarterly as part of our funds over our Prudent Reserve, and a few other folks who could share their abundance for this cause I believe it would be doable.
