Greetings from the Spanish speaking community, District 17 and the Bilingual Committee. Our service work continues to make progress around Area 46, participating in different Committee zoom meetings in the past few weeks.
On January 16, I was present at District 17 Central Office monthly meeting, where their Service Rotation voting took place. The Bilingual Committee took the opportunity to make our services available to their needs. I was able to attend the Tech Committee meeting, where I had the chance to look at how our new Area and Committee Web pages will look like, thank you Kerri and team. During that meeting, I was able to get in contact with Paula, who made it possible for the Bilingual Committee meeting be announced in the Area 46 Web page on a continues basis. We also made it to the Ad Hoc Virtual Convention Committee meeting where we made translation services available for any flyer or any other material needed. We where at the 2021 Service Forum, were we made sub-teams to find Speakers from all around Area 46. This service will re-quire the support from all the Bilingual members and friends.
The biggest step taken by the Committee where in the Ad Hoc About the Books, I was part of a few sub-Committee meetings to discuss the Spanish speaking books, District 17 and 19 and how we could work together. After a few meetings it was evident that, the Ad Hoc Committee and District 17 had to meet. Thanks to what I have been learning by participating in the zoom platform I was able to bring the Ad Hoc Committee members to join District 17 live meeting. The Ad Hoc Committee was able to present what options it had in how to distribute the books to the District, at which time the DCM a long with GSR were in a unanimous agreement and what was presented to them.
The meeting with District 17 and Ad Hoc Committee was a great success and its short-term Goal of greater participation from District 17 during the March Assembly took a giant step of becoming a reality, Thanks Be to God. To all readers come join us at the March Assembly Committee meeting.
In Love and Service.
