New Business

Gerald introduced as new QIAA Vice Chairman but he has to step down.
John F. (not Meeting Book John F.) volunteers and is voted in as new Vice
Chairman, accepted unanimously.

Gerald suggests that at the Christmas Share-A-Thon, a sign should be posted in
front that a Twelfth Step Call list is available for people who want to go out on
those calls. He volunteers to make the sign.

There followed a discussion about printing two editions of the Meeting Book
each year. See handwritten notes on this discussion.
