Leslie volunteered to be scribe. Or, at least she was taking notes
I handed out the Grapevine Representative handbook for their review.
I mentioned we had a request for donations of past issues for distribution to prisons and jails. We will plan a way to collect and distribute to the corrections committee. This opened a discussion on the “Carry The Message” program offers for Grapevine delivery to parson incarcerated.
Asked for suggestions for area workshops: Carry the Massage or Article Writing workshop.
Discussed the differences between individual and bulk subscriptions. As presented by workbook bulk subscriptions are for multiple issues to one location.
Discussed the Grapevine APP with the audio of articles & podcasts. I demonstrated various aspects of the APP. Count Your Days, Grapevine Daily Quote, online access to the current issue of the Grapevine, Web Exclusives, Past Issues search, Daily Spiritual Checklist, Gratitude List. Access to the Grapevine Store to purchase books etc., and the weekly podcasts
Discussed: Leslie and others asked if the Grapevine self supporting? Through subscriptions only no contributions received. Leslie asked why they cannot accept contributions if they are losing many. Research is needed. Thank you Murray for the Online Grapevine subscriptions plug in your report exceeding the costs of the online environment.
I suggested the committee review The Grapevine website
