Greetings Area 46
I hope this report finds you in good spirits and in good health.
We made it back from SWRAASA ( South West Region Alcoholic Anonymous Service Assembly ) It was held in Tulsa Oklahoma Area 57 .SWRAASA is held every two years on the Even years . for example 2022 2024 . There are 11 Areas in the Southwest Region. And they are on a rotation schedule to host SWRAASA which comes to a Area every 22 years.
Area 46 NM we held SWRAASA in 2012 and are in line to host in 2034 . but we might get bumped to 2036
Area 66 North West Texas did not get to host in their rotation in 2020 due to Covid and the South West Region would like to see them host in the near future instead of waiting 22 years..
Area 46 sent Seven people to SWRAASA Both Delegate and Alt Delegate, plus Three Presenters and Two Translators . But we had a few more members. A total of Eighteen AA Members went from Area 46 . Including Delegate and Alt Delegate we also had Two Past Delegates, Three DCM – District, 2 District 3. and District 17 .
