Area 45 Assembly Meeting May 16, 2004
ALTERNATE DELEGATE: JIMMY S.:
Thank you Section 3 for hosting the May Assembly and for providing the facility and food for today’s event. This past quarter has been a busy one for all of the members of this panel. I would first like to thank Laurie, our Area 45 Delegate, for her service to our Area at the Conference in New York. During the period since our last Assembly I have attended planning meetings of the Budget and Finance committee as well as the first planning meeting for our 41st Southern New Jersey Annual Convention. I have also attended meetings of all three Intergroups and am happy to report that they are all doing an outstanding job of carrying the message in their respective regions. Also, I have met with our Intergroup chairs to begin planning the Day of Sharing, which will be held later this year. We have the makings of what we hope will be an informative day for all who attend. The last weekend in February found the panel in Nashua, New Hampshire for NERAASA (North East Regional Alcoholics Anonymous Service Assembly). This was an informative weekend for all of us and I would like to personally thank everyone from Area 45 who attended and supported me on Friday afternoon when I gave my presentation to the NERAASA body on the topic “The Grapevine: Is it doing what we want it to do.” Also at NERAASA, one delegates name was drawn at random by lot to win a tabletop Public Information display formerly used by GSO. Laurie’s name was drawn and the display has been delivered to our PI chair and was on display at the Area 45 Convention. In March, I was privileged to be a part of NERD (North East Regional Delegates) Convention, which was held on the grounds of the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York. Here the Past Delegates, Current Delegates and their Alternates prepare for the conference in New York City and attend to any Northeast regional business. The month of March also included our Area 45 Convention in Cherry Hill, during which we kept busy presenting a workshop, working the registration desk and hosting our visiting delegates from other Areas of the Northeast region, as well as Gayle from our General Service Office. It was a pleasure to assist our delegate with the Mini-Conference in April and to have been a part of helping her to get a feel for our Area’s collective conscience in preparation for the conference in New York. Before Laurie begins her Delegate’s report. There is one vital piece of information I feel compelled to share with you. It is a tradition among the women delegates at NERD to appoint a small committee to choose, from among the female delegates present, SWMBO! (Pronounced “Swambo”) SWMBO is an acronym which stands for “She Who Must Be Obeyed.” Whoever is chosen as SWMBO, receives a T-shirt bearing that inscription and is entitled to be waited upon, as she demands for the next year. This applies to all Northeast Regional Service events as well as…well, any other time she sees fit. (You know where I’m headed with this already, don’t you?) This year the women chose our own Laurie E. as SWMBO. In accepting the title, she promised the delegates that she intended to abuse her power to the best of her ability. I’m sure you all join me in congratulating Laurie on this prestigious occasion.
CHAIRPERSON FRED E.:
Thanks to section 3 for hosting today’s assembly & committee meeting.
I attended and participated in NERAASA 2004 in NH. I had the opportunity to meet my peers from other areas and exchange ideas and solutions on how we can best serve our respective Areas. I thank you for allowing me this experience.
I attended District 25, 30, & 31’s District meeting in Princeton, Great Job Christopher H.
I had the privilege to attend and participate in the 40th Annual AREA 45 General Services Convention on March 19th-21st. (What a weekend) Thanks Judy and the 40th Convention Committee for your service and Love. At the wrap up meeting Rich H. was named as the Chair of the 41st convention.
The contract for the Hilton has been signed for the 41st & 42nd Conventions (2005 & 2006).
I attended District 26 District meeting on April 7th in Collingswood. Frank has done a super job in getting the GSR’s involved.
I attended District 5 & 6 workshop on the “Road to Recovery” at St. Paul’s Church in Camden on April 24th. I’m looking forward to the second part of the workshop.
I’ve met with the Budget and Finance Committee monthly (Except the last committee meeting, due to illness). We as a Panel met on May 2nd to review the budget and we were satisfied with the final proposal.
I thank our Delegate in advance for her report from New York; she has been working and fine-tuning it for the past two weeks at least.
My prayers go out to Ruthann C. our Policy and Charter Chair who is unable to be here today as she continues in recovery from her recent illness.
If your District has district meetings or workshops, email or call me in advance (At least two weeks notice) and I will come out to support you and to assist you in any way If I am able.
TREASURER: ELAINE M.:
I attended NERASSA in New Hampshire. As I still am new in this position, this was an invaluable chance for me to find out more about AA service in general, and the job of treasurer in particular. Thank you for providing me with the opportunity to learn how to better serve you. While there, I was privileged to serve as moderator for the CPC roundtable. I have passed on the report of those sessions to our Area 45 CPC chairperson. I also attended our fabulous Area 45 Convention. Kudos to our chair, Judy L. and the convention committee. I participated in our Panel 54’s workshop on “ Making Hope Happen” and in the Old Timers panel. I have attended committee meetings and functions for CTF, CPC, The Convention Committee, The mini-conference and Budget and Finance. You will receive the results of the Budget and Finance Committee this afternoon in the workshop. The Area’s tax return has been filed. Thank you to Andrew L. for his help with that. I also have asked Andrew to conduct the quarterly audit of our records and he will. As of May 10, 2004: Our checking account balance is $7805.97. Group contributions Feb-May are $4374.39, bringing our Year-to Date total: $6925.83. At this pace, our yearly total would exceed $19,000, which is slightly ahead of our budget projection of $18,400. Years past have often seen a slow down of contributions in the summer months as people take vacations, so I believe we are still on track to our projected amount. Our prudent reserve of $18,000.00 is still intact. Interest from this in the amount of $52.00 has been transferred to our operating account. Expenditures for this quarter have been $11,124.20 and include: 1.The cost of NERASSA 2. NERD 3.The Mini-Conference 4. Our share of the Delegate’s expenses at the General Service Conference 5.And all other operating expenses. An attempt is being made to save money by purchasing needed supplies in bulk.
A full and detailed report has been provided to our Area chairperson and is available to all upon request. My telephone number and e-mail is on the contact sheet.
If any committee chair has not given me receipts and expense vouchers for the first quarter, please do so by the end of the month.
SECRETARY: JULIE W.: I attended NERASSA in February and was able to share and collect different ways that other secretaries do their jobs. I must say, we really have it simply and efficiently set up in how we get our information out to the AA community. Please e-mail me a copy of your report prior to the assembly if possible. This will allow a more efficient and accurate report. It will also make my job a lot easier. I can report ONLY what is said in front of the entire assembly, otherwise you must wait until the next assembly to report what you left out. Please leave any last names and phone numbers out of your reports, we are not allowed to print them in the newsletter. My e-mail address is on the contact sheet. Please e-mail me with the next year’s places that have been chosen for the Area Assemblies. The chairperson and I are working on always having a perpetual year calendar available.
REGISTRAR: GINGER F.:
Thank you to all our groups for supporting our Area #45 General Service Assembly. Because of your support our panel was able to attend NERAASA where we were able to learn more about our new positions and how other NE areas fill these roles. If you’ve never been to NERAASA, I highly recommend it. I always come away with much more than when I attended. I attended 3 roundtables; one CPC in support of our Area #45’s, Elaine McA. as CPC moderator. She did a splendid job; since she’s been an active member of our own Area #45’s CPC Committee for years. 18 area & district registrars met sharing their experience, strength & hope with collecting data, storing it, making labels, transmitting it to GSO on the current Access disc. Sharing some of theirs experiences definitely helped us avoid some pitfalls and gain the strength of other areas. I was glad to meet our local neighboring registrars, NNJ, Del., & Philly as well as more distant areas. This allowed me to call upon our NNJ Area #44 about some questions on our border and state multilingual groups. Grateful to the support of my (computer)sponsors, sponsees, @ home coach, esp., GSR's, officers, & our 3 Intergroups in their continued support to keep our group mailings and Eastern Confidential Directory up to date. GSO’s Elaine S. can’t be thanked enough. GSO has deadlines like any good business. We’ve already made 3 of them, including sending our very first Area #45 disc to GSO Records Dept. on time for the Eastern Directory which becomes available each August. GSO has now trained us to successfully submit ALL changes on the GSO Area #45 Group Info Forms(GIFS), also called GSO P/O(print outs) during the months of Feb., Mar. & Apr. to the Area’s Registrar. These P/Os are transmitted to GSO’s Area#45 Access disc and sent to our Records Dept. for your group’s inclusion in the current directory. This disc also generates our mailing labels. So GSRs, DCMs, Section Leaders & IGs send in their GIFS on GSO’s P/Os to be included in the E. D. & generate up to date mailing labels. All the best ingredients include a large helping of H.P. for this alphabet soup. If I wasn’t confused before, this recipe, lots of stirring, seasoned with loving phone calls & e-mails allowed results. I was told if you’re confused, you’re in the right place. I’m in the right place. NOW, May through Jan., all successful group changes/additions/deletions are submitted through group change forms available at area events & our website. These are usually given to your DCMs or Section Leaders who mail/e-mail to the Area Registrar. Changes can also be submitted via our web or registrar’s e-mail. If you know your group#, this will insure proper placement onto the Access disc, which is mailed regularly to GSO Records Dept. (hopefully) allowing mailing updates to keep your group better informed. Please feel free to call or write or e-mail. This job could not be done without your loving dedication to serve. We experimented with our E. Directory on the way to NERAASA at Lowell, N.H... After 2-3 calls, the loving member on the other side of the phone, gave great directions to our backseat truck driver, met us at the 6 speaker, hot dog meeting that ended with a book/tape raffle & the Hail Mary, proving that autonomy was alive & well in the NER. Raffle was drawn after the closing.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
ARCHIVES: NONE
40TH CONVENTION: JUDY L.: Greetings Assembly! I want to apologize for not being there to give this report. Rich H. has agreed to report and I thank him. I want to thank Area 45, Fred and the Panel and most of all, the 40th Convention Committee members for a fantastic Convention. Over 1300 people attended the 40th Convention. The Area Committee Tables were fantastic and it gave a glimpse into AA in action. The CTF committee had the best year ever, thanks to our generous guests. Our speakers spoke highly of our conference the hard work that the committee members did to bring this weekend together. The attendance at the monthly Convention Meetings averaged 40 people. I hope they will continue to support Rich H. during the 41st Convention Year. All are invited to join the fun. Thanks to the speakers and workshop chairs, our Tape Sales were successful. We added a “Fun in Sobriety” work shop that was hilarious. We pre registered the old timers workshop and that seemed to work well. Our Registration and Data Entry teams created an excellent system that has been passed on to the 41st convention. There is a tremendous amount of work that is accomplished to put this together, and the 40th Convention Committee pulled it together with ease and I am filled with gratitude to have had the opportunity to work with them. I am pleased to report that we are returning $4000.00 to the 41st Convention and $7,660.00 to the Area. We addressed the needs of the 41st Convention Committee for the upcoming year to allow them to have the materials necessary to accomplish their upcoming goals. I want to close by saying that it has been a great honor to serve Area 45 with an incredible group of people. Our theme, Experience, strength and hope, was captured in that marvelous weekend. I wish the 41st Convention Committee a blessed year.
41st CONVENTION: RICH H.: I would like to take this opportunity to thank Fred and the Area Panel for asking me to chair the 41st convention committee. I am grateful to be entrusted with such a large responsibility and will endeavor to leave it in as good as or better shape than when I started. I am fortunate to have several former convention chairs phone numbers available to call for guidance when I need it. Most importantly, the 60 or so persons that make up the convention committee are dedicated and experienced individuals and many have several years of experience with the committee already. We also have a number of new faces on the committee and we always are open to even more members, so please come and join us if you are looking for some more service work. Next years convention dates are April 1, 2 and 3 and the convention will again be at the Cherry Hill Hilton. I want to thank our delegate Laurie for rearranging her whole April 2005 schedule, as the weekends available for the convention next year were quite limited with Easter falling in March rather than in April. Our co chair is Alice W. She has served as program chair, registration chair and banquet chair. Our program chair is Liz I soon to be D. Liz has served as registration chair, treasurer, & entertainment chair. Our registration chair is Pat M, our Treasurer is Jack H, and our Hospitality Chair is Sheree D. We held our first full committee meeting on Sunday May 2 in Hammonton and the attendance was very healthy. We reviewed last years wrap up meeting and discussed ways to address those concerns and took suggestions from the floor on themes for the convention. We will select the theme at our next meeting June 6. I am passing around a flyer with the meeting dates, time and directions to the meetings in Hammonton or call me at 856 906 2293. This info is also on the web site !!!
CPC: BILL G.:
Since the February 15th meeting CPC has covered the following two events: The Annual New Jersey Nurses’ Convention at the Tropicana Hotel, Atlantic City, April 1st and 2nd. This was covered in conjunction with Area 44. Our share of the registration was $287.50. Approximately 600 nurses attended this event. Attending from Area 44 were Bob P., LuAnn K., and Charlotte N. Mike K. And I represented Area 45. The Addictive Treatment Providers of New Jersey’s 27th Annual Training Conference at the Trump Marina, Atlantic City, April 28th through 30th. The cost of registration was $575.00. Approximately 400 therapists were at the convention. In addition to myself were Lollipop Joe, Gil L., and Elaine M. At the ATP Conference we were asked by the head of the Municipal Alliance in Middletown, NJ about setting up a display at a community function later in May. This request was forwarded to Area 44, and they have made arrangements to cover the event. The Special Needs Committee arrange for a literature display at the New Jersey Speech and Hearing Association Convention at the Atlantic City Convention Center, April 29th, 30th, and May 1st. CPC provide the display for this event. Over the summer we expect to be involved with Rowan University’s annual summer symposia, which is part of their Center for Addiction Studies. We have not been contact in regard to any other summer events.
CTF: MIKE K.: We held two meetings on March 6th and May 1st 2004. At the March 6th meeting it was decided to discontinue the toll free number (1-888-435-7311) for the “Bridging the Gap” program. The local number, 856-728-3318 is still in effect. At the May 1st meeting, it was decided to re-design a “Bridging the Gap” volunteer form. This will be available at our next assembly. At the Area 45 General Service Convention, the Literature in Prison table collected $1,809.00 in donations. We would like to thank all the people that gave of their time to help us reach this goal. Thank you to: The Chew’s Landing Step Group for their $29.00 donation, The Easy Does It Step Meeting for their $24.00 donation and the Crossing Serenity Group for the donation of $38.00. These were all from LIP’s cans. We need more people to volunteer for the “Bridging the Gap” program as contact people. The need for contacts in the Camden area is particularly great. If anyone is interested in this type of service please contact the committee.
SPECIAL NEEDS: JOE P:
We are
in need of volunteers in the Central N.J. Intergroup section of Area 45.
The second Nursing home is in Northfield N.J., and the social worker is requesting someone from AA to educate the nursing staff on the ‘manipulative behaviors’ of the sober yet dry resident alcoholics. We are in attempt to contact Bill G. from CPC to see how we go about this, and in the meantime, try and set up a meeting for the residence, for this too will help in the behaviors. This same Bill G. from CPC also needs to be recognized and thanked for supplying the literature at the Atlantic City Convention for the NJ Speech and Hearing Association and they appreciated our $100.00 registration fee. Thank You Bill for also remembering to Reach Out!!!
We
want to thank the Special Needs committee who helped cover the table at the last
convention in Cherry Hill, even though there were NO volunteer sign ups, in all
our attempts, we know where we came from and have stayed sober another day.
Thank you, Cape Atlantic, Intergroup and S.J. Intergroup, we now have 40 volunteers, yet we need your support. We want to be clear on the sign up sheets; you may never be called; yet on the other hand it may be you who needs a meeting. This is not a regular commitment.
Don’t forget the forms from the sign in table or Mike.
GSR/DCM ORIENTATION: JOHN K.: WORKSHOP

NEWSLETTER: CATHY R.:
The Spring edition of the Area Newsletter is on the back table. Please make sure to take some with you today and pass out at any meeting you may attend. I would like to see the circulation increase to meetings that don’t normally get them. I am still not getting any upcoming events from Sections I, II, or IV. Please let me know what is going on in your Section, District so that the entire Area is getting its fair share of coverage. The next committee meeting is scheduled for June 12 at 1am. Please send in your comments and/ or materials and questions to reisenj@yahoo.com by June 11. This is a great way to communicate with everyone in the Area. Due to the Delegate’s Report and the Budget Report there may not be the Roving Reporter next edition.
POLICY & CHARTER: RUTHANN C.:
If the agenda item were passed, creating a new committee of Audio, this committee would like to develop the job specifications/ descriptions for the Audio Committee.
PUBLIC INFORMATION: BOB D.:
First, I want to thank the Convention Committee and our immediate past Delegate Joe for inviting the PI Committee Chair for the General Service Office, Gayle, to speak at our convention. She was very helpful to me and was a great speaker. We are still looking for people interested in serving on the PI committee. This is especially true for Section’s I, II, and III. I would like to co-ordinate with the PI committee chair of 3 Intergroups to avoid duplication of our efforts. The IRC for Atlantic County is seeking a weekly presentation on Thursday evenings from 5-8PM in Northfield. The details not yet been worked out completely. We sent letters out to various publications about Public Service Announcements. Several trade and industry journals have responded with interest. At the present time, we are still working on contacting local television and radio stations in regards to PSA’s. We also hope to reach some more print media sources. We will be looking into reaching out to the Migrant Farm workers Association. This may increase AA awareness into the Spanish community. Naturally anyone with ideas on how to better carry the message should contact me. Of course, after June 5th would be a better time due to some “personal obligations” that day.

WEBSITE: BOB W.:
I have put together a website committee consisting of 1 expert, 1 newbie and myself. If anyone would like to join us we would like to welcome your help. Computer expertise is not required. My goal is that the website should be easy to navigate and the casual user should be easily able to find out what they need to about AA in South Jersey. I have streamlined some parts of the website and I think that I have made it a little easier to navigate. Some of you have sent me e-mails pointing out some errors, and I have corrected all that has been brought to my attention. Please use the website, and point out anything which you think needs improving. There is a link at the bottom of the first page, which you can click on to send me mail: Webmaster@snjaa.org. Please send me any information or flyers about anniversaries, workshops or other functions which your group or district may be having.
AD-HOC COMMITTEE: STELLA J. SELLING LITERATURE AT ASSEMBLIES:
In order to see how other area’s handled literature sales I took a survey within the Northeast areas, (New Hampshire-Maryland), 13 of the 17 responded to the survey.
Areas with Intergroup’s : 10 Area’s that sell literature (excluding Grapevine) at their assemblies: 7 Area’s where Intergroup is invited to sell Literature at Assemblies: 1 Grapevine Literature sold at Area’s: 9
In Area 45, the intergroup chairs results were:
Central Jersey- Thom O.: In favor, with a few questions before committing. South Jersey- Joe McC.: Would not support, with comments from steering Committee. Cape Atlantic- Bill B.: In favor.
Summary: My recommendation to the panel and to the assembly is to pass the ad hoc committee’s findings onto the Policy and Charter Committee for review and recommendations to the Assembly. I would like to thank all the Intergroups for their help in this project. I also want to thank all the area committees of the Northeast Region that responded to the survey. Thank you for the privilege of serving on this part of the Ad hoc committee.
CAPE ATLANTIC INTERGROUP: BILL B.:
CENTRAL JERSEY INTERGROUP: THOM O.:
Intergroup Cooperation:
We will host the first session, probably in late June. We hope to have all the officers and committee chairs and co-chairs at the meeting. The purpose will be to discuss our services, common problems and solutions.
Day of Sharing: Nancy, our Co-Chair, and I met with Joe McC., the Chair of South Jersey Intergroup and Jimmy S., our Alternate Delegate, to discuss plans for the Day of Sharing in the fall of this year. Central Jersey Intergroup will be the site host for the event.
The three main topics and the corresponding facilitating Intergroup are: CTF – South Jersey Intergroup PI – Central Jersey Intergroup “Treasury – Where does the money go?” – Cape Atlantic Intergroup
CJI Office and Body:
We have had nine (9) new Intergroup Reps join us since March of this year.
The Answering Service Committee, Meeting List Committee and Correctional Facility chairs are open.
Our other committees are active and doing well.
Our Steering Committee meets monthly and attendance has been very good – this often results in some lively and enthusiastic discussion. We may get quite excited, sometimes very excited, but at the end of the night we remember why we are there and our primary purpose holds us together in Fellowship.
CAPE ATLANTIC INTERGROUP: BILL B.
Thank you for the opportunity to be of service and represent Cape-Atlantic Intergroup to this assembly. What’s new at Cape-Atlantic Intergroup is as follows:
I am happy to report that for the first time in a number of years, Cape-Atlantic Intergroup has a full roster of chairpersons for each standing committee, having just appointed a new CPC chair: Tom F. at our Steering Committee on May 12th. With his anticipated approval by the body at our business meeting next week, we look forward to finally making inroads in carrying the message to our local professional community.
Our efforts to improve grassroots unity are showing us progress in a number of areas.
Phone Committee: Our Phone Committee, chaired by Bill W., recently undertook an audit of phone charges, past and present, and is initiating new services with substantial savings to our present phone budget. In addition, they are researching and being advised by South-Jersey Intergroup, on the formation of a call forwarding phone commitment system to help fulfill our constant need for phone volunteers.
Our H&I Committee chairperson, John L., is initiating new commitments locally for our body to fill and has set up a system of hosts at other facilities, which is proving an excellent way to bring new speakers to Institution meetings.
Our Literature Committee, chaired by Elle F., did a wonderful job at the recent Area 45 convention in Cherry Hill. Elle’s three-day literature sales grossed over $2,800.00. In addition, Elle and her committee are steadfastly keeping our meeting lists updated and our inventory accurate and up to date.
Unity Committee, chaired by Robbie W. (who you all know and love), has a roster of events that we see as greatly enhancing our body’s involvement with Cape-Atlantic Intergroup. Our first annual getaway weekend was a great success having 39 members of our intergroup area attended the Garden-State young-people’s conference last week of Apri
On June 2nd, our first Unity Night workshop will occur at the Galloway Public library. Our guest speaker on the history of Alcoholic’s Anonymous, “Barefoot Bill”, and a town meeting format with out-of-area members answering questions about Unity, Service, and Recovery. Coffee, pizza and soda will be available. Free event.
September 12th, we are holding a Unity Breakfast hosted by two of our local groups at the Clarion Conference Center on the Blackhorse Pike in Pleasantville, NJ.Our guest speaker will be Liz B. from NY with 52 yrs continuous sobriety! Ed D. will host the event and is looking forward to handing over the affair to our Unity Committee as an annual fundraiser.
Friday October 1, 2004 will be our first Unity Road trip to AA’s World Service Office in New York.
Saturday November 6th, 2004, our new annual Unity Dinner Dance. The theme will be “An Evening with Bill Wilson”. This will be held at Seaville Fire Hall. Cost is $25.00/person. Costs include buffet dinner, dancing to a great DJ, and an awesome national AA speaker Bob C. from Philadelphia. During dinner, a talk from our co-founder Bill W. will be airing on two large TV screens.
Our attendance at our business meeting is up 50%. Group donations are up 20%.
To encourage further progress, we have instituted some administrative changes. A “pass-it –on” policy for all our committees has each chairperson documenting their primary purpose and keeping a record of their activities for their term. This is an attempt at guidelines for future servants.
There is a proposal that all three Intergroups meet on a quarterly basis to include the “Day of Sharing”. Here we can trade ideas on Central Office functions and problems.
Thank you to all who have made my job easy, by stepping forward to help our beloved fellowship.
SOUTH JERSEY INTERGROUP: JOE McC.:
Were almost halfway through the year and South Jersey Intergroup is rolling right along:
Some personnel changes. We like to thank outgoing Trustee, Walt S. for his service and welcome new Trustee, Lorraine C.
Vicki C. has stepped in as Literature Co-Chair. Thank you to all above for being in service.
SJI still has Co-Chair positions open in Budget & Finance Committee, Website Committee, and the Social Events Committee.
And interesting (but not surprising) survey to report on from our Office Administrator, Joe T. In an effort to clean up our mailing list for Intergroup Meeting Minutes. Joe did four mailings to over 300 people representing the 278 listed Group Meetings. Only about 3% replied to this letter. As an average about 55-60 are represented at the monthly Intergroup or about 20%. The 80-20 rule still seems to be true! Copies of this letter are available.
I met with Jimmy S., Alternate Delegate, and Panel 54, regarding The “Day of Sharing”. SJIG will host the CTF/H & I topic. Public Information hosted by Central Jersey. Treasurers & The 7th Tradition hosted by Cape Atlantic. The “Day of Sharing event will be October 9, 2004 at Slackwood Presbyterian Church in Trenton. The Workshop will be: The Service Structure of AA.
First meeting of all three Intergroups is scheduled for June 27th, Steve R, SJIG Vice Chair, has agreed to attend for me.
A quick note on the July 4th Alcathon, (you know the one we can't have at Intergroup because of the Festival at Cooper River), and the landlord locks the Building. It will be held this year at: The Wayne Bryant Community Center, Charleston Avenue, Lawnside, NJ. First meeting at 6 AM last meeting at 6 PM.
PI has mailed out a form letter to that outlines their services to 120 police departments in five Counties: Salem, Cumberland, Gloucester, Camden and Burlington. Copies of this form are available.
AGENDA ITEM
That the Area establish a committee for Audio, in following with Concept 4: “Those who serve should have a voice”. The Agenda item was passed with substantial unanimity. This will now go to Policy and Charter Committee for guidelines on how the new Audio Committee will operate. |
