Hello from District 13!
We had a wonderful October District 13 meeting. It was scheduled directly over the annular eclipse, so we broke early, went outside and watched the eclipse together, passing around two pairs of eclipse glasses that our members had brought. It ended up being our own little AA eclipse party, and I was glad to share that moment with my fellow members of District 13. Then, directly after our District meeting, Kerri K. presented a workshop on “Servant Leadership in AA.” It was well-attended and I learned a lot about how to be effective as a servant leader in AA.
District 13 has awarded our first $150 scholarship for a new GSR from D13 to attend the December Assembly. There is one scholarship remaining. Eligibility is as follows: you must be a new or first-time GSR or group rep in District 13 whose group is not able to financially support you to travel to the Assembly. The scholarship is for up to $150, available as reimbursement, to cover your travel and stay. If you are interested in this scholarship, please send your information to District13@dev.aa-nia.org.
District 13 has now filled the role of secretary for the 2024-2025 rotation. A number of committee positions are still available. If you are interested, please attend our next District meeting in November. You do not have to be a GSR to serve.
