Hello Area 46,
I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at our Area Assembly, August 10-11, hosted by District 18 in Albuquerque. In addition to conducting area business, the budget for 2025 will be presented by the Finance Committee. All assembly details, including link to register can be found at https://dev.aa-nia.org/service/assembly-info/upcoming-assembly/.
Please take a moment to review the latest announcements from El Farolito. Our Area newsletter is entirely self-supporting through group, district, and individual contributions. Contributions are currently very low for 2024. Only 8% of groups have contributed toward the newsletter this year. We need your support to “keep the little light burning.” To make a contribution toward El Farolito, mail a check or money order to:

Speaking of El Farolito, Christoph will be appointing a new Editor to begin a 2-year term as of January 1, 2025. If you are interested, or know anyone who may be interested and willing to serve in this role, please have them contact us.
Area 46 is soliciting bids for the 2025 State Convention, as well as the March and August assemblies in 2025. If your District is interested in hosting, or would like more information, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
I just returned from Austin, TX where I attended the 64th International Conference of Young People in A.A. (ICYPAA.) There were over 35 attendees from New Mexico, including a Past Delegate and our Southwest Regional Trustee. It was an incredible weekend of recovery, unity, and service. Registration is now open for the 65th ICYPAA in Twin Cities, Minnesota. All are welcome!
I am continuing to liaise with all Central Offices/Intergroups and AA entities performing similar functions within Area 46. I appreciate the opportunity to participate and learn more through these connections.
You can reach me at altchair@dev.aa-nia.org if you or your committee need any support.
In Love & Service,
Laura S.
