get in. This group often has first-timers attend, so it is in need of support from members.

Friday Albany ............................................................ Average 7-9 attendees, finances good
Saturday Colonie ................................................................................ Average 20-25 people

Old Business

Elizabeth reported that Intergroup’s finances have stabilized due to regular contributions
from the two large groups. She said that, since Intergroup now has a bank account,
groups can send contributions by check, either personal or from a group bank account,
which addresses the concern raised at last meeting about representatives delivering
cash contributions to Intergroup meetings.
Given that groups can now mail contributions, the group rejected the earlier proposal to
provide the bank account number so groups could deposit contributions directly.
Elizabeth said she can continue to serve remotely as treasurer until a new, local
treasurer is named. No one from the groups has stepped forward yet.

$10.00 collected at meeting per 7th Tradition. It was submitted to the Church for rent.
The group updated the area meeting schedule with the latest information.
The group discussed reopening the Intergroup Post Office box, but decided to wait until a
local treasurer is named, rather than opening a Post Office box in Vermont.
Next Intergroup meeting September 21, 2013 at 11 a.m.
