  • District funds: We purchased 280 dollars’ worth of pamphlets with the money earmarked for us during the final budget process. UPDATE: World Services announced a 15% increase on all pamphlets and 3 dollars for books across the board on February 2nd. To save the district and CPC/PI money we used a part of the 2026 CPC/PI budget to replicate the order placed in December. We had a group text vote with CPC/PI members that was approved. This purchase will bring our stocks up to last well into August. 2nd in line behind Treatment for any leftover funds at end of FY.
  • Please review below our new policy for purchases below:
    • New Procedure for purchases for CPC/PI – best is to pay out of pocket, send bill directly to District Treasurer on the day of purchase; second best is to bill District through central office BUT get receipt, then scan and send copy to District Treasurer, CPC chair, PI chair and secretary for addition to the monthly report. If you have questions about making purchases such as do we have money—bring up at the next CPC/PI meeting.
  • Brainstorm implementing “Sponsor a Rack”

Bring to D2 meeting and have GSRs bring to groups. Clear message about where racks are and what expected from groups. A couple people will introduce the idea to their groups at business meetings. Keith and Conrad will choose racks in place that are accessible.

  • CMU panel will be on March 13th, 2026, from 09:50 to 11:45am. Mark your calendars! We have new contacts as Bailey Fraser is out on maternity leave. Alisha Bradley and Matthew Mann will be our new contacts. Let’s start to fill out the panel at this week’s meeting. We have enough people for this panel: Heather, Todd, Mike, Anthony and Jerry.
  • Working with Treatment and Corrections chairs to bring panels into those facilities
  • Working on Mesa County and Western Colorado Human Resources panels
  • Welcome Conrad T! Our new PI chair will be taking over Keith’s duties starting this Febuary.
  • Thank you so much Keith! With all the service work you do, you were able to not only keep PI running past your time but adding a boat load of locations to “The Places We Serve” as well!

 

 

  • PI Report

 

  • This is Conrad T, your acting (Hopefully soon to be officially voted in) PI Chair for District 2. Keith will be taking me around to deliver literature and meeting lists this Friday February 6th to introduce me to the facilities that we support, get a handle on what literature we have on hand, and what we may need more of. It is my understanding that literature will be taking a drastic price hike as of February 2nd across the board. So I will visit Central Office this Thursday or Friday to see how this will affect our budget in the coming year. If anyone needs literature or anything else from me, please let me know.

Yours in humble service, Conrad T

Looking forward to the D2 meeting this month and standing for the position.

The chairs met with Conrad for a mini business meeting to catch him up on that end of the position and begin training.

 

  • From Keith M: I want to thank Conrad for volunteering to take the PI chair position! I am trying to get back to GJ by Friday. Conrad and I are scheduled to go on my literature deliveries so he knows how to get in the facilities. I had to leave GJ on short notice, so I have limited capability for reports. I have not heard from any of my helpers if they needed any more literature or meeting lists for their deliveries.

Really grateful to have served and available to support as needed. Will miss all of you.
