Hello everyone. My name is Rosie F., and I am the new Area Archivist. I am so excited, grateful, terrified to be back in area service. I have been reading my job description, meeting with Michelle T., our outgoing Archivist, and visiting the space (what a change from the closet). Remember that what we do today becomes tomorrow’s history. Please ask your District secretaries to send minutes and if you’re having an event, party, etc. please send that as well to archivist@dev.aa-nia.org. I’m looking forward to working with Renee L. our Area Archives Committee Chair.
Hi Area 46. Did you know that in February of 1938 was when Rockefeller gave $5,000 to AA which ended up saving AA from professionalization? The well-known Rockefeller dinner was on February 8, 1940. On February 14, 1971, AA Groups worldwide held a memorial service for W. I am working on a few“ how-to” presentations, such as “How to take an Oral History” and just general informative “AA History” presentations to hold virtually and will share those next month. I am glad to get to know Rosie F. more and to work with her as she does the very big job of preserving and safe guarding our history. In love and service, Renee E. Lewis, archiveschair@dev.aa-nia.org
