NII3NTAL H] ALTH CENTI RS <br /> Area Office <br /> · 157 Lake Concord Road <br /> P. O. Box 1050 <br /> Conco:d. N.C. 2S025 - Telephone 704.755-I <br /> <br /> March 30, 1979 <br />TO: Tom Reece <br /> Jim Ryan <br /> Jim Lentz <br /> Charles McGinnis <br /> Lynh Hughes <br /> <br />FROM: Mae Funderburk <br /> <br />RE: Detox Center <br /> <br /> Most of you know that for several months I have been planning on being <br />away beginning Monday April 2 to return on Wednesday April 11 for my honey- <br />moon, and since I will be on tour oct of the country it will not be possible <br />for me to attend the meeting with the County Commissioners on Monday evening, <br />April 9. You will remember that the Detox Center mssue was tabled until that <br />meeting. There are a number of issues I would like to bring to your attention: <br /> <br />1. Mr. Tom Reece will be responsible administratively for any presentation <br /> of comments made at that meeting. He will be assisted if necessary <br /> by Mr. Jim Ryan who will be the administrator of that service once it <br /> is developed. <br /> <br />2. Recently there have been expressions of support for the Detox Center <br /> by members of AA and some have made contacts with Jeff McCombs, <br /> Alcoholism Counselor in Cabarrus Center, as well as myself. Efforts <br /> are being made to elicit support within the AA clubs in Cabarrus <br /> County by some of their o~,m membership. It is against the AA traditions <br /> for AA groups to pass any resolutions or take any stands as groups in <br /> support of any outside activities of any other outside organizations, <br /> (Tradition fl6, Page 554 of the Big Book). However, individual members <br /> may elect on their ox.m to support the Detox Center in whatever way <br /> they choose. Yesterday I had an opportuuity to spend some time talking <br /> with a man who has been active in AA activities for a number of years in <br /> Concord regarding AA and the Detox Center. lte personally supports the <br /> plan for the Detox Centdr and is going to try to elicit the support of <br /> a ~5umber of other AA members tO bring support for this project. Some <br /> of them may be making contacts directly with Connty Cmmnissioners to <br /> express their snpport, some may write letters to the Board of County <br /> Commisslo~ers, and some may elect to attend the meeting of the County <br /> Commissioners 'on April 9 to personally and individually speak in support <br /> of the Detox Center. I have been told that the Kannapol5s AA group is <br /> <br /> I <br /> <br /> <br />
