Many Thanks for Enriching Mini-Conference

Thanks to all the members of Central and Southeastern Ohio AA and all who participated from New York and from the four corners of Ohio during the March 7-9 2014 Area 53 Mini-Conference.

As the Area 53 delegate, I was gratified by the attendance (114 registrations) and the enthusiasm of the attendees. The spirited and respectful sharing at the Sunday morning full conference debate impressed me. It reminded me of my experience in New York last year at my first General Service Conference.

Delegates Report
March 9, 2014 – Salt Fork Lodge and Conference Center

It has been a privilege to serve as your Panel 63 (2014-15), Area53 Delegate and share with you my activities (in the past three months) as I tried to carry the message per Chapter Six in the AA Service Manual.

As Program Chair of this 2014 Mini Conference I have met monthly with the Area 53 Mini-Conference planning committee, met with Deer Creek State Park and Salt Fork State Park hotel officials to see that Mini Conference is well hosted this year and locked in through 2015 and 2016.

I have tried to keep the Area trusted servants and interested AAs informed about the efforts your General Service Office, AA Grapevine, and General Service Board are doing to reach out to the still suffering alcoholic. If you want to be included in my e-mail updates and the like please e-mail me at delegate(at)area 53aa(dot)org. Send me your name, telephone number and e-mail address and you will be included with all the Central and Southeastern Ohio trusted servants and interested AAs.

Report from Delegate Chair Weekend in NYC | February 26, 2014

I was honored to represent Area 53 Central and Southeastern Ohio in New York at the January 31 – February 3 General Service Board (GSB) Weekend. As you know I will represent the feelings of AAs in Area 53 at the 64th General Service Conference (GSC) where AA decides how to best carry the message as a whole.

I was chosen at the 63rd General Service Conference(GSC) to be the Delegate Chair for this year’s GSC Committee on Cooperation with the Professional Community(CPC). That meant I would be a guest of the General Service Board (GSB) and the General Service Office(GSO) the weekend of January 31 – February 3, 2014.

That weekend was a combination orientation to the chair’s role and a weekend of sharing and learning more about our AA yearly Conference to be held April 27 – May 3, 2014.
