Greetings from your newly appoint-ed Area 46 Corrections Chair. Thank you Jimmy F. for helping me become acquainted with this service position at the Area level, and all others who have welcomed me and have been a resource. I am looking forward to continuing what Jimmy F. started. With that in mind, I am in the process of distributing the AA Meeting cards to the districts. I have distributed some to District 12 and District 6. Please contact me via corrections@dev.aa-nia.org to receive your district’s cards and suggested guidelines.
There are many ways we can be of service during this time even with our inability to physically get behind the walls. Our purpose is to carry the message to our members who are incarcerated and I am confident that we can be creative and diligent in this area. I am looking forward to collaborating with members throughout the state to see how we can continue to carry the message to members inside of correctional institutions. If you are called to help in the area of corrections please join us at the next meeting which will be announced in a few weeks. You do not have to be district corrections chair to join our meetings and provide us with your helpful experience, strength, hope and creative ideas. If you would like something to read in the meantime, please contact me and I can email you a copy of the AA Guidelines for Corrections Committees. For those who do not use email, my address is: Renee Lewis, PO Box 35541, ABQ, NM 87176. Any donations to Area 46 Corrections can be mailed to my P.O. box.
Together we achieve more.
Renee L.
