Questions and Answers
Kalei asked about the founders day binder that is passed along as well as about the
suggested sobriety time for inter-group service positions.
The binder is available from the C.O. and the suggested sobriety time is 2yrs. and these
are just suggested as it is possible to have less time in some service positions and this is a
case by case decision process. (Vice-Chair)
