M2019-003	Quarterly Meeting	4/14/2019	Troy B-D.Motion to Discontinue Gratitude Dinner – MOTION:The motion is to discontinue the Annual SETA Gratitude Dinner, effective immediately, and to move the balance of the funds in the Gratitude Dinner account ($1,989) to the SETA general fund.  BACKGROUND: Over the course of my SETA career, I have noticed a trend regarding the annual Gratitude Dinner of lessening attendance and increasing difficulty in getting commitments from the various Districts (generally speaking). Recently, several groups and districts questioned the use of contributions. The amount of funds used to cover hotel rooms is especially upsetting to those members. This makes it harder to ask the groups and districts to contribute to what is essentially a party. In January 2019 at the Assembly, a sense of the Area regarding this matter indicated substantial unanimity that the Dinner should be discontinued.	Passed	99,1,23

M2005-024	Quarterly Meeting	7/10/2005	The Finance Committee received a proposal to make the Gratitude Dinner a self-supporting event, as opposed to the current status of being an Area expense only; that AA attendees contribute $5 each to attend the dinner; any AA who cannot afford the $5 contribution may attend anyway; and the Area Treasury will absorb any costs not covered by contributions, and will receive the excess proceeds if contributions are greater than expenses. The motion failed.	Failed	1,6,23,26
