Hey Area 72!
I would like to share with you that it has been a joy to be your Archives Chair. In these past few months as I have been getting up to speed, I have learned how important maintaining archives is to preserving the historical facts of our Area. There are several intricacies that go into preserving and storing an artifact and/or document. I have been enlightened to see how much work goes into saving our Area history and making it available to all those who wish to learn about Area 72. In just this past month an author had asked to come to our repository so he could conduct some research. We also had someone fly across the country to take a look at our archives because their area is going through an experience and they want to know how Area 72 got through a similar challenge. I am impressed that people know what it is that we have stored on a national level. Most importantly, I am serving with enthusiastic and light hearted individuals who love Alcoholics Anonymous. I am so happy that I get to serve with these people throughout this rotation.
