The BOT (Board of Trustees) learned of an unexpected $47,000.00 balance on
an F.W.S. credit card that was subject to 27% interest unless it was paid
in full. Therefore, the BOT further reduced staffing hours and approved an
emergency withdrawal from the Prudent Reserve Fund to pay off the outstanding
credit card debt. While the BOT was dealing with the regular business of the
Corporation plus reviewing the financial issues cropping up with the F.W.S.
Office, the International Convention-2011 Los Angeles Local Planning Committee
(LPC) requested underwriting from F.W.S. The BOT could not provide this funding
and based on this decision the Los Angeles Intergroup withdrew its bid to
host the 35th SLAA Anniversary International Convention 2011.Termination of

The S.L.A.A. BOT, by unanimous vote, let go of the F.W.S. office staff on
November 18, 2010. An initial review of the F.W.S. financial records and an
office inventory are completed. The BOT is discussing a restructuring of the
office to more efficiently meet member needs.
