As our Area elections approach this September\, we need members who are ready to keep that unbroken chain of love moving forward. \nGeneral service is a heartfelt invitation to come all the way in and sit all the way down in the home that saved us. Standing for an Area position requires no expertise—only a humble heart and a willingness to say “yes” to the still-suffering alcoholic. If you are ready to give back a fraction of what you have been so freely given\, please step forward\, trust in a Power greater than ourselves\, and make yourself available to serve the future of Area 53. \n \n\n\nIn Love and Service\, \nKyle M. \nArea 53 / Panel 75 • Alternate Chair \n\nUpcoming: Area Elections • September URL:https://area53aa.org/event/district-22-sponsorship-workshop-steps-1-5/ LOCATION:Dublin Community Church\, 81 West Bridge Street\, Dublin\, Ohio\, 43017 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://area53aa.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/D22.png ORGANIZER;CN="District 22":MAILTO:dcm22@area53aa.org GEO:40.0986599;-83.1158895 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Dublin Community Church 81 West Bridge Street Dublin Ohio 43017;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=81 West Bridge Street:geo:-83.1158895,40.0986599 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
