(8) JOHNSON CO. cont'd.... Needs: more supportive groups for those who want to get together and talk about their own drug related experiences. Perhaps there is a need for some kind of walk-in facility. A half-way house might be halpful. VETERANS ADMINISTRATION HOSPITAL: Members of The Brotherhood, Paul Penningroth The Brotherhood is the name given to designate those in VA Hospital undergoing their treatment program. Location: 8-West. Contact can be made by phone. Persons can walk up and talk with them. They use a lot of "Confrontations" methods in their groups. It is a modified "synanon" program. The focus is not strictly on drugs, but on the person and his relationships: get persons to come on straight, come clean about their own inner needs, and then get ready to work on their own problems and prepare for going back into society. They are willing to share themselves and their methods (other than the medicinal treatments) with others upon invitation. For the patients there, the methadone maintenance program is used, as needed. 3. Election of Chairman, Secretary: a) Chairman elected : Roger Simpson, 707 Melrose Ave, Iowa City, 52240 b) Secretary elected: Ted Thrilby, P.O. Box 894, Iowa City, 52240 Term: until Jan. 1, 1972 4. NEXT MEETING: DATE: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 7:30-9:30PM PLACE: CEDAR RAPIDS, at the JOINT CO. SCHOOL SYSTEM BLDG., On Highway 218, across from Hawkeye Downs (signs at bldg. will direct us to room) 5. INVITATIONS SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO ALL CO. REPRESENTATIVES IDENTIFIED TO DATE, AND TO ALL OTHERS INTERESTED AND RELATED TO GROUPS WORKING WITH DRUG ABUSE AT ANY LEVEL. Let's keep the group open, and related to as many areas and levels of the 7 Counties as possible. This letter is going to all who attended this meeting, plus those who received the first notice, plus other names proposed to date. 6. AGENDA FOR OCTOBER 5: a.) Report from Des Moines Drug Authority Office: a letter is going to Paul Flynn to ask that Sam Paley be assigned to meet with us. b.) Each Co. will be asked to do its own research and report new developments or correct and add to the report listed here. c.) Some discussion of funding. d.) Brain storming about what is needed, where, and how it can be initiated. e.) Some time may be set aside for each County group to meet separately. f.) Discussion of possibility of Incorporation of District X. g) Lots of rapping, and open exchange to make it more meaningful for each of us.
