B. Treasurer’s Report
Linda reported a negative balance due to the lack of group contributions. The operating account is down. She reported that the Potluck is not paying for itself. The report was accepted with a change to reflect the correct date. A recommendation was made to delete the section titled “Operating Activities” from the report in the future because it appears to have no useful purpose.

Entertainment: No Report
Hot Line: No Official Report. Sherrill was not in attendance, however, per Joan, she has continued to cover the hotline with volunteers and Intergroup Office.
Newsletter: Eileen will inform the people with paid subscriptions that they will no longer receive them by mail.

They will also be able to download it for free from the COIG Website.
Office: A report and ledger was provided to the group. The Intergroup Office is covering the Hotline on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Joan and Jack are keeping a record of the office calls and Hotline calls received.
