Secretary’s Report: Ann Z. reported that the minutes for the 5/2/2025 Business Meeting had been posted on the group’s Website for review. Dan A. asked for any questions or comments. There were none.

Service Chair Report: Dan A. substituting for John D. reported that all is good with the group’s service responsibilities-that all positions were filled.  No additional comments or questions were raised.

Coins and Books Report: In Pam’s absence, her report for May will be deferred and presented at the June Business Meeting.

Note: Pam previously noted that her schedule has changed and she is not able to attend the zoom meetings as frequently as before. She is concerned that, when she is not present on zoom, people with anniversaries or newcomers may not realize that she is the contact for coins and books – that they miss an opportunity to contact her or she may miss their announcements. No motion was made at this meeting to change the current notation in the opening script.

Treasurer’s Report: Jo reported that the May 7th Tradition contributions totaled $126.00 with $776.02 donated Y-T-D.

The current balance for the JOL Happy Hour Meeting is $264.39 (not counting the reserve of $400).  $664.39 was deposited into the GSB account. Total expenses reported for May were $34.01 for the groups’ Zoom monthly subscription.

Dan A. asked for any questions or comments. There were none. He made a motion for approval of the Treasurer’s report. Herb seconded the motion and it was unanimously passed

GSR Report: Herb reminded the group that he is still acting as the interim GSR and that he doesn’t mind providing this service. He said there is nothing new to report. Literature has been purchased and sent to prisons, treatment centers, etc., and that all is fine.

JOL Web Site Report: Herb reported that there have been no changes in the Web site and is always willing to welcome any new suggestions. Dan made a motion to approve both of Herb’s reports, was seconded by Jo, and was unanimously approved.

Chairman’s comments/Adjournment: Dan A. made a motion to approve any reports not individually approved, Herb seconded the motion, and it was unanimously approved. No new business was raised. The meeting was adjourned.

All wished John D. a speedy recovery!  Thank You Again Dan for Your Service!
