Its Gratitude Month! Check out details of how to support WAIA and carry the message to your groups HERE! The 2021 Budget was approved at the November 10, 2020 board meeting: 2021 WAIA Draft Budget On August 11, 2020 the Finance Committee presented our 2021 budget considerations to the WAIA board. Presentation docs can be viewed here: 3 Year WAIA budget Overview In an effort to keep the membership informed during this challenging time we would like to share a brief three-minute video update from Leslie Backus, the Class A (nonalcoholic) treasurer of our General Service Board. The GSO average monthly expenses are $1.4m (supported in a typical month by $730k in literature sales and $670k in contributions). April was already down to $685k, with a shortfall of $700K. This gap is expected to continue for 3-4 months without a call to the fellowship for contributions.
