Reports
Chair: It’s been a busy month for SMICYPAA, as we’ve all worked
really hard to get our trivia night event off the ground. I’m sure
it will be a great success. Serving as your chair has kept me really busy.
I’ve been helping Nikki out with events stuff. We have also finished
up a proposed budget (finally!) so that we can get a little more on track
with finances. Thanks to Sean for all the hard work there. Along with events
and financials, I have coordinated, with the help of Ian, for SMICYPAA to
go to the District 2 meeting this next Thursday, 11/11/04, where we will
give a presentation and help to spread the word on what we’re doing
and what we’re up to. Hopefully this will help to raise more support
for our committee and ICYPAA as a whole, and perhaps we’ll even find
a few people that might want to get involved a little bit more.
My main goal now, as your chair, is to continue to help out all the other
committees as much as I can, as well as try to drum up some support and
recruit a few dedicated people to start helping out in some major places
that we need help in, mainly events. Ashley S. will be heading up plans
for our “Festivus for the Rest of Us,” but we’re certainly
going to need a lot of help to get that one off the ground.
I look forward to what’s coming up in the next month or two, and I
am grateful to serve the committee.
In love and service,
Travis Williams

Outreach Committee: The committee traveled to Kansas City which was a success;
we rallied some KC troops and they are planning on attending our upcoming
events, including Trivia Night. I sold about ten or eleven tickets to for
that event and have been making announcements all over. So far Cara and
Evan (Men’s and Women’s Treatment Subcommittee Chairs, respectively)
have established more than thirty contacts with treatment centers all over
the greater St. Louis area. That’s about it.
Yours in Service,
Jason B.
Outreach Committee Chair
Hotels / Facilities Committee: The Hotels/Facilities Committee has achieved
lift-off! We have gotten in touch with the new contact for the Renaissance
Grand in downtown Saint Louis. The preferred dates (Memorial Day weekend
May 25-28, 2006) are available. An email has been sent to the contact at
the Millennium and we hope to hear back from them soon. Thank you for the
opportunity to serve.
In Love and Service,
Mike P.

Group Communications Committee: As of this month we now have appointed our
IR Liaison, Kelly E. and our Young People's Group Subcommittee chair, Lucy
S. I will be working with Kelly to make contact with the intergroup offices
throughout Missouri. Lucy will be begin attending various young people's
meetings throughout the area to find YRs for the meetings.
In the next week or so, I will be looking for volunteers to attend the various
district meetings in the Eastern Area of Missouri to let them know about
SMICYPAA. That's all for now.
Yours in service,
Alicia G.
