Area 46 Literature Committee
May 2023
Greetings Area 46!
We don’t have much to report this month. Mostly we are just waiting now for the report back from the General Service Conference.
I’ve gotten a few phone calls from members recently who were looking for items such as literature racks and I’ve been able to guide them to the aa.org website. I guess as things are starting to open and we begin to get more organized and active in service we are again finding places where information about our program and how people can find us are desperately needed. I’m happy to help people find what they need since our Area Literature Committee doesn’t keep an inventory of all the things that are available from AA, and it is my belief that this committee could better serve our Districts, Groups and Members in more of a coordination capacity, including coordinated purchases to help our Districts who don’t have the benefit of a Central Office to be able to take advantage of the large purchase discounts available from GSO. These large purchases are also preferred by GSO whenever possible.
Next month I will share the recommendations of this committee for our District and Area Literature Chairs. These include streamlining the inventory and responsibilities of the Area Chair so that this position is a little more manageable and won’t require a truck:)
Please come and check out our Literature Committee meetings every third Wednesday of the month at 7 pm. The Zoom info can be found on our Area 46 Event’s calendar at dev.aa-nia.org. You can also send me an email at literature@dev.aa-nia.org.
Thank you for letting me be of service!
Phillip F.
