—————-
Hi GSRs and Trusted Servants.
The end of the month is approaching, and that means monthly business meetings are upon us. The Phone Bridge Intergroup Board of Trustees need each group’s consideration and vote on whether to allow the Trustees to spend $600 to provide stipends to registered Phone Bridge GSRs who are attending the GSA World Service Conference next month in Chicago.
The full language of the motion is below. GSRs are requested to bring their group’s decision to the next Intergroup Meeting, Sunday, September 14th, 5:00 PM.
In service,
Amy H.
Co-Secretary, Phone Bridge Intergroup
Tues 7AM GSR
Motion:
The GSA Phone Bridge Trustees recommend that Phone Bridge Intergroup inform its Group Service Representatives that $600 total is available to provide stipends for GSRs attending the September 2014 World Service Conference (see detailed budget information below). Each registered GSA Phone Bridge Meeting is eligible for a portion of that money to send their registered GSR to represent their group at the WSC. All stipends will be issued after the conference occurs, with each attending GSR submitting paid invoices by October 31, 2014 (either to PBI’s PO Box or to PBI’s recording treasurer, Alice in GA) totaling at least the amount of the stipend issued (with an upper limit of $100).
This $600 expenditure needs to be brought to the Phone Bridge groups for approval during their August or September business meetings, as per Phone Bridge Intergroup’s bylaws requiring such approval for any expenditure greater than $200.
