Delegate Report | December, 2011

December 2011 Area 53 Delegates Report

During the past quarter I attended the following: District 26’s Rule 62 Day, Grapevine Committee meeting, Special Needs-Accessibilities’ committee meeting (2), BYOBB committee meeting(3), District 17’s DCM meeting for Delegates report, Mini-conference Committee meetings (3), District 12 workshop, East Central Regional Forum, District 19’s GSR school and moderated COGF Board elections.

We’ve gotten the communication from JM in Area 54 who is program chairman for this coming years state convention. He sent along the line up of panels that are being planned during the weekend. There are eight and the lineup looks very good. Over the next couple months we will be looking for people who are interested in presenting at one of the eight panels I have one taker already. If you look over the topics and something strikes you please let me know and we will talk about submitting your name as one of the panelists. Just see me after the meeting and I will give you a list of the panel topics. One probably not too many people are that qualify for or nobody gets to volunteer for will be the old-timers panel. The subject of the old-timers panel is what service was like back then.

To All,
As you may or may not have heard, the grapevine began receiving several letters and emails of anonymity concerns regarding the presence of a couple icons (Twitter and Facebook) on AAgrapevine.org

Several suggestions were made that the icons be removed until the AAGV board has a chance to have a further discussion at its upcoming July board meeting.

The AAGV board, via email poll, agreed to take this action. Our Executive Editor/Publisher has confirmed that our web development provider has removed the links.

We have already scheduled this as an agenda item at our meeting.

In Service,
Don Miller
AAGV Chairperson
