AREA 53 GENERAL SERVICE

Dear Trusted Servants,

The draft agenda for our December Assembly is ready

Sunday, December 13, 2026, at 10:00 AM

Crossroads Ministry Center

2095 W Fair Ave, Lancaster, OH 43130

This is a draft agenda and is subject to change.
Tip: download the PDF before opening it, so the links take you straight to each appendix.

Sign Up for the Assembly Draft Agenda Directions

To Our DCMs

Please forward this to the GSRs in your district as soon as you can, and encourage them to sign up and to take the agenda to their home groups. The Assembly is only as strong as the group conscience we bring into the room, and these items deserve a chance to be talked over in the groups before we vote.

Items for Group Conscience

Proposed 2027 Budget — Appendices A & B Along with the Monday Night Steps and Traditions Group’s letter about past delegate expenses. Koel D., our Treasurer, will present both together.
District 15 Proposed Conference Agenda Items — Appendices C & D One on how changes to the Big Book and Twelve and Twelve are decided, and one on keeping “Our Southern Friend” in the Fifth Edition. District 15 will ask for the Area’s official support by asking for a vote at the Assembly to support these PAIs, which have already been submitted to the General Service Conference. Groups may want to read the short introduction before Appendix C first.
Unity Day with Lancaster Area Intergroup — Appendix E The Area Committee is in favor, and it comes to the body as a motion so planning can begin.

Also on the Agenda

  • Special election for Panel 77 Alternate Treasurer
  • Guidelines Revision Ad Hoc Committee update (Appendix F) — a full report is coming; more will be revealed
  • Announcement: the 2027 Mini Conference is March 12–14, 2027

Coming About a Week Before

Once our Secretary receives them, we’ll share:

  • Guidelines Revision Ad Hoc Committee report
  • Standing Committee reports
  • Officer reports
  • GSR and DCM reports
  • Minutes for review

If you’re giving a report, please get it to the Secretary as soon as you can so everyone has time to read it before December 13.

If your groups have questions, or something in the packet isn’t clear, please reach out to me or to the trusted servant presenting that item. It’s far better to sort it out before December 13 than on the floor.

Thank you for all you do to carry the voice of the groups. I look forward to seeing you there.

In service,
Kyle M.Chairperson, Area 53, Panel 75
