Business
- 1. Additional nominations for 2014 open positions
- There were no nominations. We still need a Vice Chair, Liaison to
Minnesota South Area, Event Sales, Public Outreach, Group Liaison,
Alateen, Archives, Public Outreach, and Institutions.
- 2. Report on literature sales at Gopher State Roundup
- About $2,500 of literature was sold. All of the volunteers showed
up except one. The table was not open Sunday as there were no
volunteers.
- 3. Update on Hospitality Suite at Fellowship weekend
- We need someone to coordinate Friday night dinner and Saturday
breakfast food preparation and volunteers. There was discussion on
what this entails. A member volunteered to cover food prep but would like
help. The chair will send email to ask for volunteers to staff the
room during the meals.
- 4. Update on calls to groups to verify information and invite
Intergroup Representatives
- The volunteer doing this was not present. A member will speak with
her to see where she is at with this and if she needs help to finish
it.
- 5. Hazelfest August 2nd, 2014 at Hazelden
- The chair will be working at the booth and would like another
volunteer or two to help. Volunteers receive free entrance to the
event with live music
- 6. Update on conversation with Griggs Midway Management re
flasher
- The chair spoke with them and they gave her a different number to
call if there is ever another incident like this. The new number will
call all security on duty to get help so someone can respond
immediately.
- 7. St. Paul Intergroup inventory
- The chair passed out a printed inventory and we plan to add questions
from the inventory to the agenda every month. It is requested that
everyone personally answer the questions and come prepared to discuss
them.
- 8. Questions/Concerns/Other Business
- There will be an Intergrup workshop on Saturday June 14 for people who are interested in
being Al-Anon Speakers.
- A member brought a request from Fellowship Club for help. They are
looking for a beginners type meeting to be hosted by Al-Anon weekly on

support side of Hazelden). They would like this to start ASAP.
