Hello, Area 46! I hope this report finds you all well and in good spirits!
As I write this report, we are continuing preparations for the December Assembly to be held in Taos. I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who registered for the Assembly ahead of time either online or in person. Registering ahead of time makes check-in more efficient and helps us prepare for the Assembly. It also helps us to get an accurate count of voting members and non-voting members that attend the Assembly.
As your Registrar I am responsible for keeping the records of our groups up to date in Fellowship Connection, which is the General Service Office database. From the database important information from the Area and GSO is sent out to the groups, via GSR’s and Trusted Servants. I continue to enter new or existing GSRs, new Groups and Group changes into the FC database year-round.
Currently within New Mexico’s 19 Districts our group/meeting data is as follows:
- 287 active in person meetings
- 14 active virtual meetings
- 115 unknown meetings
- 10 incomplete meetings
Unknown and Incomplete meetings do not have a current GSR listed or have incomplete meeting location information. If you would like to see if your group is listed as unknown or incomplete, please contact me. I will also be handing out Group change forms for each District by Group for DCM’s to take back to your groups at the December Assembly. Please ask your DCM for your groups form to review your Group information and send the forms with updates back to me and I will update the information in the database.
If you are a GSR, have started a New Group or have Group changes and have not sent me your information, or if you need to update your information, please do so. You can find the forms in both English and Spanish on the Area website at dev.aa-nia.org on the Registrar’s page under the Forms link. You can send your forms to registrar@dev.aa-nia.org or the address listed on the forms. The information is also shared with our El Faralito Representative to send the El Faralito to your group.
I am grateful that I can be of service to Alcoholics Anonymous and Area 46. I look forward to seeing everyone in Taos at the December Assembly.
In Gratitude and Service,
Berna C.
Area 46 Registrar
