LITERATURE – Carla A.

Literature committee is commended for a great job. Carla needs to know how much literature needs to be made up in order to talk to printers to obtain prices. It was decided that 3,000 of each piece needs to be made. Alan S from New Mexico has contacted AA Grapevine in reference to the Preamble. AA Grapevine wants a formal request for permission to use the Preamble in writing. Approval expected within two weeks. Literature committee will also get a price from the printers on the banners for the 12 Steps and 12 Traditions. A concern was expressed that the letters over the logo does not seem acceptable.
