New Area Position – Guideline Change Proposed

At the Area 53 December assembly, a guideline change was discussed and a motion was made as stated below. This motion was tabled by the assembly so groups can discuss it between now and the March assembly. At the assembly’s discretion at the next assembly, this tabled motion can be opened again for continued discussion and voting.

Motion: That the Area 53 Guidelines be amended:

1) Remove Item 2e from Article IX-Standing Committee Areas of Activity

Alkathon – Time Slots

by

The Alkathon will be here soon and we know your groups want to participate. Attached is a sign-up sheet for time-slots for the Alkathon.  In the event of ties for time-slots we will have a drawing. The drawing/sign-up will take place at our next District 26 meeting which will be November 19th from 9:30-11:00am at the New Life Church in Gahanna.

Please discuss this with your group, choose your favorite time-slots and either send a representative to the District meeting on the 19th, or give your completed sheet to a member of the District (you can also scan & email a copy). We’re having the same DJ as last year, and the same great AA groups hosting meetings, so we know this will be a super fun event.
