Greetings from District 14!
April was a rewarding month for our district. At our monthly meeting the team voted unanimously to support District 41’s Public Information table at this year’s Pride Fest at Seattle Center. We are really looking forward to partnering with our friends District 41 to carry the message at Pride Fest and hope that other districts will join us. In addition, District 14 elected a Young People’s Committee Chair, filling our last open committee chair position.
On Saturday, April 26, our Public Information Chair teamed up with members of our incredible Young People’s group, “No Matter What – Late Night,” to host a Public Information table at West Seattle’s annual “Be A Blessing Event.” This event is an inspirational resource fair put on by young people for young people. I’m grateful for the service hearts we have throughout District 14, incredible examples of our Third Legacy.
Our Third Legacy, Service, offers us an opportunity to share our experience, strength, and hope with other alcoholics so that we can find sobriety together. In sharing this legacy, we take action to make a difference in the lives of others. These actions can be as simple as opening the doors of a meeting, making coffee, cleaning up after a meeting. They can be fun and rewarding, like hosting a Public Information table at a public event or taking a meeting inside the walls of a treatment or correctional facility. Love of the Third Legacy can also lead our fellows to give so much of their lives to General Service. I am very proud to be part of an Area and District in Western Washington that places so much value and emphasis on service actions big and small.
Looking forward, on May 25 I will join the District 14 Third Legacy Chair and other trusted servants in Area 72 as we come together for a Third Legacy Roundtable. Many thanks to Patty, the District 25 Third Legacy Chair, for leading this effort! I look forward to writing about this new forum next month.
Thank you for this opportunity to be part of the team. Enjoy the day!
Your Friend in Service,
David J
DCM, District 14
