We did introductions and discussed possible projects for this rotation. We discussed how to utilize technology more in PI/CPC work. Delegate Geene presented on upcoming topics for the pre-conferences. I also attended the PI/CPC intergroup meeting last month. Tony and I discussed some ideas for this rotation. I will be working on contacting all the current places we have literature racks to make sure they are full. Then I plan to reach out to some new places. I’m excited to be of service and learn more about this important work. Thanks, Heather TREATMENT Members of the treatment committee held our first treatment session panel on Friday Jan. 29th at Intercept for an IOP group. That counselor is now asking for once a month panels for all her sessions. Evergreen Breakfast group has volunteered to hold panels for the sessions on the third Thursday in the early evening. We will continue to bring a panel in on the fourth Friday of the month 1:30 - 2:45 and are working on another panel on the second Tuesday 11:30 - 1:30. We are in need of speakers for the Tuesday panel. Please let the treatment committee know if you can participate. We held another open panel last night (Feb 14th) with four speakers. Our next open panel will probably be on St. Patrick's Day in March, time not yet determined. Again, anyone interested in sharing at that panel, let us know. Our district group "Women in Recovery" has volunteered to provide speakers for a women's only panel to be held Monday, Feb. 22 at 7:00. Their regular meeting is onThursday 5:30 to 7:00. Ladies, let's give them our support by attending. The connection information should be available under events on our web page. If not please contact me at treatment@district32aa.org. I am hoping to make a women's panel a monthly thing but we may need help from other groups. Check it out and see if your group will be willing to help. What a great service opportunity! David and Linda both attended the monthly meeting with the Hospital and Treatment committee at Greater Seattle Intergroup on Feb. 6th. Our next committee meeting will be with the CPC and (hopefully) the PI chairs and all other interested trusted servants on Sunday, Feb. 21st at 2:00pm and will focus on our service model with our two area hospitals.
