Payment for the order is made when the literature is picked up, or delivered.
Our Seventh Tradition reminds us that we are self-supporting through our own contributions. We ask that you donate as you can. Seventh Traditions donations are used to support meeting expenses and literture, and to support CoDA at the community and national levels.
CoDA groups encourage responsibility in financial matters, such as paying for meeting room space, literature and refreshments. We maintain treasuries through voluntary contributions from members only. After the group meets its own needs and obligation, it is suggested that excess funds over and above a prudent reserve be distributed to the larger communities of CoDA: local, state, regional, provincial, national or international. Co-Dependents Anonymous does not accept large contributions from any individual, nor do we accept money, space or services from non-CoDA sources. Thus, we maintain accountability and independence.
7th Tradition
At almost every meeting, a basket is passed to collect money, known as The Seventh Tradition.
What do we do with Seventh Tradition funds?
At the meeting level:
Paying the rent on the space used for holding meetings, and for providing any coffee or other things that might be served.
Literature, and welcome & CoDA birthday tokens, are paid for out of these funds, although literature is most often sold and is thus self-supporting. At times, the literature may need assistance for new items or should anything happen to the literature stock.
After meeting expenses are paid, many groups establish a “prudent reserve” that covers two months worth of expenses. It’s a savings fund that may be used if meeting donations do not cover expenses.
At the community level:
The money goes to provide services to all registered CoDA groups in San Diego County and supports neighboring CoDA groups. We support all co-dependents by providing a newsletter, literature sales, a website, local phone line, outreach and events, including Super Seminar Saturdays each calendar quarter. and other programs that the community may run or sponsor. The community is made up representatives, committee chairs, and group service representatives from the many San Diego County CoDA meetings.
The San Diego County CoDA community also establishes a prudent reserve as part of its annual budgeting process.
At the regional level:
The Southern California Region of Co-Dependents Anonymous provides a bridge between the many Southern California CoDA communities and the CoDA World organization.
What happens to funds in excess of the prudent reserve?
Meetings with funds in excess of their prudent reserve may donate excess amounts as follows:
