5. The District continues to seek 100% participation by the groups in its district. Look for friends in non-participating groups and encourage them to stand for GSR.
6. NYSIW – July 28 – 20, 2023. James C, Chair of the Workshop, is looking for volunteers to help with the event. Please contact James at (716) 587-2903 or James.J.Conley@gmail.com if you would like to work on this important event.
7. Place of Worship and Law Enforcement Committees have received pamphlet racks and tear off sheets for distribution throughout the district. The Law Enforcement Pamphlet racks have been distributed.
8. We have been informed that Two Trustees have resigned from the General Service Board unexpectedly in the last 6 weeks. As a District Member, I think it is imperative to understand what this means for our Area and for AA as a whole. Home groups should be informed when making a donation to GSO. There isn’t much information regarding the resignations at this time. In the spirit of transparency, I am hopeful that we will learn more in the coming weeks. Would we like the Delegate to come to our April District meeting to provide us with information about these resignations and how they affect AA as a whole, not only in the USA and Canada but also the other 62 General Service Offices around the world that rely on New York’s direction? Please send me any questions that you or your group have and I will get them to Denise. In love of service, Sue B, DCM
