EMZ Business Meeting Minutes September 22, 2024 

Paul started the meeting with the Serenity Prayer and read Tradition 9: “A.A., as such, ought never be organized; but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.”

Old Business: 

• From last month’s meeting, Fred made a motion that we put a 3 minute timer on the screen during meetings when people are sharing so they know when to wrap up. The motion was tabled to be revisited in today’s Business Meeting.
• Fred asked to withdraw the motion after he got feedback from several meeting members.  Motion is withdrawn.

New Business:  None

Secretary report: The minutes for the August meeting are posted on our website. The report was accepted without objection.
