| M2018-001 | Quarterly Meeting | 1/21/2018 | Floor Action by Gus H. for Betsy G.: Motion regarding Martha Watson to donate $100 to the General Service Board of Alcoholics Anonymous, Inc., as is our custom when we lose a current or past delegate in our Area, or a current or past trustee in our region. A longtime member of Area 67, she passed away near Dallas after complications from a stroke. Martha was 89 years old, and on December 31st of last year would have completed 44 years of sobriety. She was very much looking forward to reaching that milestone. Martha was definitely a force to be reckoned with; however, her knowledge of steps, traditions, and concepts was unmatched in the opinion of this student. In addition to serving as SETA's Panel 31 Delegate (1981-1982), Martha also served as an Appointed Committee Member on the Trustee's CFC Committee at the General Service Board. Martha belonged to the Rosewood Group, which she helped form and regularly attended the Working With Others Group, both in West Houston. Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully submitted, Betsy Gerber, Panel 59 Past Delegate. Paul M. seconded the motion. There were none opposed. Motion passed. | Passed | 1,24,25,26 | ||
