*Area 56 held its 3rd Assembly of the year today. In addition to
Officer Reports, DCM Reports, Committee Chair Reports and
discussion on the Budget and Calendar for 2025, we also took
inventory. We did this by the ‘divide and conquer’ method.
We broke up into small groups, addressed one question per
group and then had a spokesperson share our insights. As
Delegate, I learned that we need to be more proactive in attracting
folks to our Area meetings. Other insights will be enacted
by our Area Chair/Alternate Delegate, Jon S.
Distributed to all who attended was the 2024 Final Report
detailing the 74th Annual Meeting of the General Service Conference
of Alcoholics Anonymous. Theme: “Connecting with
Love, Unity and Service.” The report is also available at aa.org
in pdf format at no cost. Advisory Actions (Pg 36-39), Committee Considerations (Pg
40), Area Contributions to GSO (P 130, 131), among other information, is contained in
this booklet. The Final Report lets us know what is happening in AA as a whole.
Take a look at aaarea56.org On display is a new interactive map showing the
geographical boundaries of the Districts in Area 56. This was designed by a long-time
active member of our Communications Committee. Type in the address of your Home
Group meeting and it will give you the District it’s in. This knowledge can steer you to
your DCM and ultimately keep you connected within AA’s service structure.
Next Assembly is Saturday, Dec. 14, from 10am to 2pm. We meet at St. John’s
Lutheran Church, 470 S. Gebhart Church Road, Miamisburg, OH. Mark your calendar.
In addition to valuable information about our beloved fellowship, you will be served a
tasty lunch by our Hospitality Committee! Service is where the fun starts!
