Kansas City: bad news, good news
Jim L. reports from Kansas City:
Hello, helpful SCA ISO helpers! I’ve just learned that the Kansas City SCA Tuesday night meeting (7:30 pm) at Unity on the Plaza is no longer functioning and should be deleted from the SCA-Recovery meeting page.
The Saturday morning 9:30 meeting is going strong, however (20+ people typically). Thank you for all you do.

Just What Does the Inreach Committee Actually Do??
The International Service Organization of SCA is essentially composed of three service committees, a chairperson, a Director at Large and two Outside Directors. The Directors serve as members of the Executive Committee and help keep the committee chairs on track and insure that actions taken reflect the 12 traditions of SCA.
The Inreach Committee deals with all issues arising from within the fellowship. The structure of the Inreach Committee is as follows:
Sub-Committees: Literature Development subcommittee is the place where any piece of literature considered for conference wide approval is vetted. Often members of this subcommittee will work with the authors of a piece of literature where suggestions for any changes can be worked out.
Recovery Book Subcommittee is working on an expanded 3rd additon of the “Little Blue Book.” Chapters are being written addressing the 12 steps, 12 traditons, characteristics and personal stories of recovery.
Nominating Committee: The Inreach Committee works to find qualified individuals to take on service within the Executive Committee of ISO.
Regional Coordinators: Regional Coordinators serve to keep the various intergroups and meetings worldwide informed about developments within ISO. Regional Coordinators serve specific areas of the globe. Regional Coordinators also maintain contact with individuals within their region who live where there is no SCA meeting. The Regional Coordinators could bring together lone members who live near each other, not knowing that another Secxually Compulsive Individual lives nearby. New SCA meetings can be formed in this way. (Some of the earliest meetings of SCA took place in members living rooms.)
Presently there are vacancies for regional Coordinators for the Central and Western United States and for Asia and Oceana. You do not need to live in a specific region in order to serve as a Regional Coordinator. This service is open to any member of the fellowship. You do not need to be involved with ISO in any other way.
Finding sponsors for individuals who live where there are no SCA meetings is also part of the Inreach Committee’s service to the fellowship. Fellows often sponsor individuals who live in other countries. The Inreach Committee puts sponsor and sponsee together and encourages them to work things out between themselves as to whether to be in contact by email, text message or texting.
Any individual interested in providing service as either a distance sponsor, Regional Coordinator, member of the Nominating Committee or any other service within ISO can contact Tony D. Inreach Committee Chair at

Help Wanted!!!
After several years of serivce Alexander T. has resigned as the editor of the SCANNERONLINE blog.
The SCANNERONLINE is an important and underutilized vehicle for fellows in our program to share their experience, strenth and hope. The SCANNERONLINE also serves as a vehicle for the various intergroups to share notes about what is happening within their particular Intergroup. It is important to keep this vehicle alive.
For the time being I will serve as a focal point where folks can send information to be uploaded. Send information to sca.iso.inreach@gmail.com. In the header write for the SCANNERONLINE.
