IV. Old Business
A. AA Service Manual Ch. 5 Discussion to be led by Tom W. : Chapter 5 is on the Area Committee so each Area is a bit different and some of the things described in the Service Manual may be a bit different than what Area 42 does. The purpose of the Area Committee is communication. In some Areas past delegates participate in Area Committee, but ours do not. The Chair of AC is Phil and keeps the Delegate informed. He takes info from all districts and committees and brings. Secretary Paul and Registrar Emily. Paul records and distributes minutes and Emily maintains records for districts and groups Including group GSR and group numbers. Our treasurer, Tina just stepped into position. Past Delegates have a wealth of experience, but they are asked not to be GSRs or DCMs again. On page 47 each area sends at least 1600 to GSO to contribute to the the General Service Conference. We pay 4000 dollars a year just to support the conference. That does not cover the cost of sending delegate to represent the Area in New York. North America operates independently from other countries, but Joan R. will present
B. Group Discussion: Ted: Using last names in AA and in General Service. We are not anonymous on a group level or in General Service we need to be known to each other. At the level of press, radio and films but not before. Social Media is considered as “press”. Cherie mentions the new Anonymity pamphlet. Pat says that inside the group we should know last names but outside the meeting it is different. It is about me staying right sized and not becoming a guru in Alcoholics Anonymous. Each individual person.
V. New Business
