5. E-mail Meeting Report
NB List
Had a lot of activity with having more new members than ones that left the list.
Ketra is going to use pamphlets for topics in NB. Everyone thinks that it is a good idea. And what has been posted so far shows that members are getting into it.
A lot of people celebrating birthdays. So Jenny has been busy.
12 x 12 List
Karl is doing a wonderful job in getting things running pretty good.
January is Step One and Tradition One, and there have been pretty good shares.
We did have a situation that caused some disturbance dealing with another Tradition instead of Tradition One. But we survived.
Men's and SafetyValue List
They are doing about the same. Seems like the same amount of new members for each, which is pretty good.
Have a good day,
John T. Begin
Email Coordinator
6. 12th Step Committee Report
Hi Folks,
We've been steadily busy on eHelp and our core group of volunteers seems to have gotten smaller since the holidays. If anyone wants to help reply to emails from people looking for help, please subscribe to
the eHelp list - we'd love to have you.
Thanks!
Alex

Big Books
January is typically a peak month for those seeking help from AA. We were able to provide Big Books to the following people in January, thanks to your continued support of the e-AA Group Big Book project through your 7th Tradition contributions:
1/3 Jilliane D. from New Hampshire (Women's)
1/3 Michele M. from North Carolina (Women's)
1/4 M.H.L. from Florida (webform-heard from Q&A)

1/29 Cherlyn C. from Oklahoma (Women's)
E-AA will send a Big Book (free and anonymously) to newcomers if they do not have one. The Literature Committee would like to encourage you to offer a Big Book to those just joining our way of life.
We also appreciate your discretion when posting our webform link in publiclly viewed places.
Our Stories
In January we posted Alex's celebration of his 4th year of sobriety. Thank you for your service, Alex. We currently have one story in the editing/discussion stage and two awaiting consideration.
If you would like to help a suffering alcoholic by telling your story, please contact the Literature Committee.
Respectfully submitted,
Trish2 on behalf of the Literature Committee
9. Webteam Report
The webteam continues to do the necessary server administration tasks that are vital to maintaining our website, including but not limited to backups, updating third-party software, and database maintenance. We have been doing server administration since first moving to our own server (first value web in May of 2007 and then to ServerBeach in August 2007). In addition, the webteam continues, as we always have done, to provide technical support to the chatroom admins,
listkeeper, individual e-mail problems, and the like.
The webteam as a whole shares the task of necessary server administration. January was relatively quiet month.
Our webteam members represent a wide range of technical abilities from those who are new to things techie and listening and/or learning about things techie TO longtime geeks and techie types. And all stages in between. New members always welcome.
Webtraffic report:
