Chair’s Report: presented by Mike P.

 

There are 110 days left until ICYPAA 47!  Online registration is up and running, so now it's even easier to pre-register.  There is a pre-conference event on Thursday, May 27th, so keep that in mind when planning your trip.  Please let me know if you need assistance and we'll get you signed up right away.  The past month has been a busy one for the committee.  The budget team met and hammered out a proposed budget

which I fully recommend to the committee for approval.  The area assembly provided me with some excitement and a learning experience all in one.  The chair of Area 38, the eastern area of Missouri has assured me that she fully supports our bid to bring ICYPAA 48 to Missouri.  The area's support is very important because it helps the AA community know we are sincerely trying to help out.  So it is imperative that we do our best to be humble everywhere we go in AA (by saying that I'm reminding myself more than anyone else).  One last thing, if you need a hand, please call.  We're in this together so there's no need to go it alone.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve.

In Love and Service,

Mike P

Hotels/Facilities Co-Chair Report: presented by Rachel R.

Mission to find the pre-conference event location; I checked the city museum and it would cost $3000 to rent the almost the entire place, parking, security, etc.  Caves are $500 extra, is outside area.  Middle floor with plays would be off limits.
