Discussions
Avalon House
Cheryl B said she tried 3 times to contact James Pendergrass and got no reply. She decided to let it go for now until we hear from him.
Parents Practicing Principles Meeting
We had voted via email to take the Friday night meeting at the Alano Club off the schedule because it has not been going for some time.
Host MIAFG State Convention in 2018
Cheryl B. asked if we wanted to host the MIAFG State convention in 2018. It was decided not to since it is up in Bellaire Mi and not many had been to other conventions.
MIAFG Spring Assembly
The MIAFG Spring Assembly is June 17, 2017 in St. Louis, MI. Cheryl B is organizing carpooling and has at least one car load going and others plan to attend.
Special Holiday Meetings
Someone suggested that we have special Al-Anon meetings at the Alano Club in Ann Arbor during Thanksgiving or Christmas when the club hosts 24 hours of AA meetings.
