As a reminder, money donations up to $300 for a Single IRS tax filer ($600 for Joint) are deductible from your income for 2021. Colorado offers a similar deduction (but eliminates the first $500) for more than the federal contribution.

This deduction is available even if you only claim the standard deduction and do not itemize. Unfortunately, 7th Tradition contributions (unless your group is incorporated as a non-profit) do not count.

Edit is always grateful for the support we receive through the Benefactor’s Club and general contributions. The tax deduction is available for contributions to any tax-exempt organization so supporting any organization like Edit that helps persons with an addiction issue is something we wish to encourage.

If you haven’t made such a contribution, they must be mailed or delivered before Jan 1,2022.

Until December 19th, 2021, and in view of the renewed precautions against Covid-19, we are attempting ot offer several methods of voting for three new members of the Edit Board. We choose three each year so as to rotate the Board on a regular basis.

In addition to in person voting at the club on Dec 17 thru Dec 19th (we prefer you vote at the club so we can greet you and share some fellowship and food), call the club during meeting hours and we can bring a ballot out to you in the parking lot, going to the club during the noon hours before December 17, and voting via SurveyMonkey on the Web (link is below.)

Those volunteering for election this year are: Alex N., Dustin M., Joel Z., Maymie Mc., and Todd F. Pictures of each of them will be available at the club if you are not familiar with who they might be by name during voting hours on the 17th thru the 19th.

The link to vote on the Web is Edit Board 2021 Voting.

District 19 is beginning to recover from the Pandemic like most of AA and needs new volunteer’s to fill committee lead slots such as Public Information, Corrections, Bridge the Gap, etc. If you are interested in a service position, District 19 meets the third Thursday of each month at the Edit Club on Alameda.

This is in person at Edit (and hybrid – https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82711549918?pwd=dnh4bXRIV2ZRT3QyOWkybHhQOVNmQT09 ).

Topics include:

Beth will update us on:
• Fifth Edition of the Big Book
• Changes to the Preamble
• Big Book Translations

We want you to be aware that JeffCO and the CDC are recommending that everyone (vaccinated or not) wear a mask indoors.  We ask that you respect the people around you and follow the guidance but will nor enforce the recommendation as a requirement.  The CDC an on-line indications that even vaccinated people can spread the virus as it is now considered to be as infectious as chickenpox.

August 19 Delegates Report – Hybrid at Edit

We will no longer be holding a Zoom meeting and ask that you join us in person at Edit at 5:30 PM Saturdays.

Edit traditionally asks for volunteers to help with cleaning the parking lot and grounds from the Fall and Winter debris each Spring.  But with the pandemic, we haven’t done it until now.

If you have a rake or big broom or hedge trimmer, please join us on Saturday, July 10 at 9AM to help make the Club look a little spiffier (cleaner) and more inviting.  (Pizza may be hiding inside when we finish).

Need a meeting on Sunday?  Sofa Spuds (with the return to pre-pandemic seating out by the fireplace) is returning to a 9:00 AM start time.  See you there!

We made it through the pandemic (so far).  Check out this link for details:
