| Call for Service! Please email finance@aa-dc.org to join the Ad Hoc Committee to join discussions of what WAIA could consider doing with funds in excess of the recently passed prudent reserve. Recommendations will be presented during the August 2021 board meeting. February 9: The board passed a motion to set WAIA’s prudent reserve to one year operating expenses. Prudent Reserve Memo, 1/11/2021 Archive Committee Report on Prudent Reserve, 12/7/2021 ************************* 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.
