Old Business:

Listing MIP with WSO -

Sue shared on the information she received from the WSO so far,

a few reasons why the group was not officially sanctioned -

One being the 'portal' issue, we would need to have a Website which is not a

part of something else, a single web address going directly to us and without

having Non Al-Anon information on it.

There was much discussion on this topic, members shared their experience

and suggestions.

Motion was made, Vote was held and Passed for Sue to continue with the

WSO seeing what it entails for MIP to become registered

New Business:

Reinstating Monthly Op Meetings -

There was discussion on this topic, Motion was made, Vote was held and

the group decided that Monthly Op Meetings will not resume at this time.

Meeting was closed with the Al-Anon Declaration.
