Archives Report – WNY Archivist in process of being in serviced on how to go about digitally saving all of our records in many formats. Including CDs, Tapes both cassette and VSR, print documents. Once advised on how to carry out process it will be a huge un taking to carry out task. It will be done by members of committee and archivist.
Our committee has a couple work nights a month for committee to come together and carry out task. We needed to cancel twice bc of illness – family obligations and vacations of our committee.
Our Committee in process of planning Spaghetti lunch – Tentative date – Sunday, October 23, Week 8 of Bills schedule + bye week. Location will be at St. Andrew’s School Cafeteria location of Buffalo Central office. Lunch + speaker. Very successful last year. Please stay tuned.
Our pancake breakfast was successful bringing people together in May for a morning of food – fellowship + program. While our number of attendees was way up since Covid, profit was down because of cost. We feel It is important to have such events so we may be sustainable, raise awareness of our work + contribute to AA program as whole strengthening recovery and fellowship.
Be advised WNY Archives receives no funding from AA or Central Office. We preserve AA history in WNY all donations through our Pancake Breakfast 🥞🥞 + Spaghetti luncheon + donations from individual groups. We do have expenses including rent and equipment cost.
We are happy to go to group functions or group anniversaries. We also welcome new people on our archive committee.
(Respectfully submitted by J.J. Van Volkenburg, Archives Committee + from University Men’s Closed Discussion Group)
