— Meditation for Today,
Today book, February 18th

From the Board of Trustees President, Paul N.
Another year in the books, another year of recovery! After a period ofmany of our members connecting online through virtual groups, I havebeen encouraged to see new inquiries about starting in-person meetings
over the past year. Having both options available at as many times and in
as many cities/time zones as possible serves our membership well. If you
feel a calling to start a new group, please visit the website(emotionsanonymous.org) and under the 'Service' tab, click on 'How toStart a New EA Group' to find out more.
As always, our administrative office has done a lot with moderate resources over the past year. While our literature sales were down 8% andgroup donations declined by 34%, an 8% decrease in expenses, combined with a one-time estate gift helped the organization to increase its
financial safety net from a very low level the year before. Even with thisstabilization, EAI only has six months of reserves on hand. Considering
the significant losses EAI has seen in prior years, this is not a significant
cushion. Given how many groups are online today versus five years ago,
it can be easy for members to let their $1 or $2 per meeting donation
slip away. If you are able to contribute, you can now give monthly on theEAI website. Just visit the website and click on the 'Donation' button andit will provide the option of donating monthly.
They say it takes a village to raise a child. I believe it will take a village tokeep EAI going for another fifty years. All of us in the program havedifferent strengths, whether it is having the spirit and commitment tostart a new meeting or sponsor, the interest in becoming a board member, the writing and editing skills to serve on the literature committee or
the gift of sharing a part of ourselves in each meeting we attend. We all
have something to give and our contributions, in tandem with the hard
work that the people in the EAI office put in, will ensure that the program keeps moving forward to serve current members and potential
members who are experiencing pain and don't know that the program ishere...yet!

Literature Committee Report

To support individuals withemotional difficulties intheir efforts to live a moremanageable life by using theEmotions Anonymous
Program of recovery.

This year the EA Literature Committee worked hard to complete reviews and edits on a couple important pieces, including the new“Courage” pamphlet and the “Holidays and Special Days in Recovery”
workbook. We also made great progress toward pulling together thefirst rough draft of the upcoming new book on the Twelve Principles.
We received submissions from more than 30 EA members around thecountry (thank you!) and held a special meeting last winter to create
the final structure for the book. Special thanks to several very active
members, including Kathleen, Erin, Sharon, and Greta, who have madea solid effort to initiate or complete literature this year. But we need
you too! If you’re interested in joining the Literature Committee,
contact Colleen at coyne2003@hotmail.com.

Please inspire my words today and let them be an expression of good.

2How do the years go by so quickly? We had a staffing change here last summer—Claire went back to school and we welcomed Molly to EAI. She’s
been a terrific asset, managing the order processing, updating meeting information, fielding member questions, recording donations, and generally
keeping things going all around. We’ve introduced new items (“12 Steps”
and “Just For Today” posters), added a few pamphlets, revised the “ItWorks If You Work It” book, and continued work on a new book focused onthe 12 Principles.
We hear regularly from people who are so grateful that this program exists
and we do our best to accommodate requests—whether for new materials, changes to the website or meeting locator, or how we communicate.
We continue to fret about our budget—we were fortunate to receive anestate gift last year, which provided enough cushion to end this year with apositive balance—only the second time in the last decade we could do so.
I’m so proud of this little organization—truly, when I took this position(9 years ago!), things were bleak. We’ve turned around and continue tosupport groups and individuals throughout the world as they work theirprogram. I appreciate the willingness of members to help out when I
ask—special thanks to our Board of Trustees for their support and work.
My future plans include trying to find new ways to reach more people—
help get more meetings started, generate more awareness of the program,and continue to work with the Literature Committee to provide new andfresh materials to make the program more meaningful for all.
