Meeting was called to order at 6:40pm. Laurie read the minutes from the previous meeting of October 23. 1986.
I. OLD BUSINESS
A. All changes, comments, suggestions, etc., regarding the World Service Conference minutes must be brought to the next meeting.
B. Bob spoke with Ray G. regarding the trustees not attending the World Service board meetings. Ray understood but was not happy so Bob will meet with him to further discuss this.
C. Bob and Willie will be going to San Francisco on November 13th and work out all the details regarding registration and monies going through the CAWS bank account.
D. Greg – trustee from Chicago sent a letter and cards giving the delegates five (5) days to respond as to whether they would prefer the Conferences changed to within 25 miles of Los Angeles.
E. Bob spoke to Bob Campbell regarding Cocanon’s money from the Convention and Bob C. will work on it and let us know the result.
F. Bob M. contacted Misty from the L.A. General Service Board and Misty said she thought the meetings were sending donations directly to us, but since this is not so it will be investigated. Lionel mentioned each meeting is autonomous and if they send a donation
to World Services, we should keep it and it should have nothing to do with the 10% we should be receiving from the General Service Office.
G. Neil has had complaints that the National Directory has not been sent out despite the fact people have paid for them and have been waiting for some time. A motion was made to let Bob M. decide how many National Directories to print now, as is, to satisfy these requests. Motion passed.
H. Ken Lieb will have a proposed budget and a financial statement on November 20th.
I. Bob M. is still working on the New Year’s Eve function.
J. Bob M. has purchased the 5 video tapes according to the motion passed at the precious World Service Board meeting.

B. Chicago prints their own literature and now wants to make their own chips. Bob M. will contact Craig H. and inform him that all literature and chips upon advice of our attorneys and to protect the CA copyright must come from the World Service Office.
C. Dr. Barnes from Texas who has the Cocaine Anonymous trademark will contact an attorney to rescind the trademark so that we will be able to own the CA trademark.
