The Area 72 Newsletter is more than just a publication—it is a vital communication tool designed to connect members, committees, and districts across our area. Through reports, stories, and event updates, we aim to keep the fellowship informed, inspired, and engaged in service.
This newsletter serves as a bridge between trusted servants and the groups they serve, ensuring that every AA member, regardless of location or accessibility needs, has access to the latest updates from Area 72.
Our Purpose
The Area 72 Newsletter exists to:
- Facilitate communication within the fellowship, helping members stay informed about area business, committee updates, and service opportunities.
- Encourage participation by providing a platform for members to share their experience, strength, and hope through written submissions.
- Preserve transparency by publishing trusted servant reports, financial updates, and motions from area meetings.
- Promote unity by reflecting the spirit of service that keeps our fellowship strong.
