  7. New Business
    • Discussion of bringing people in earlier than 10 minutes. Emily says it’s 15 minutes prior, not 10. Brian says we should have host choice and that we should get the bombing out of the way early and traditions should be considered (Only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking) and that a newcomer might need help. Emily says traditions should be considered. Emily: Cohosts should avoid chatting about non-recovery things before the meeting, we should be greeting. Kathy suggests hosts choice. Brian makes a motion to make it host choice and we need to greet the newcomer. Anna indicates that we should stay later. Brian amends to stay later. Motion passed.
    • James O. wants to clarify singleness of purpose for meetings. Brian removed a nurse from a closed meeting and alanon members shouldn’t be at closed meetings. Jackie has difficulty saying no. Amy suggests people attend 9 AM open meeting. Anna asks them if they have an honest desire to stop drinking. Anna suggests we think about having some open meetings. James O suggests we change the script.
