I am currently in Florida visiting my family, enjoying their company and supporting my sister and partner through some health concerns. It is not hard to bask in the amazing weather, great food, the beach and lots and lots of laughter. To be able to offer my family my support is such a gift of AA.
Another month and another 400+ registration requests for changes, corrections, and information. To say I am overwhelmed would be a bit of an understatement. I am focused on registration and then getting the Directory up to date as soon as possible. I am looking forward to seeing our members, our DCM’s and Alt DCM’s and hopefully some GSR’s and Alt GSR’s at the Quarterly in just two + weeks.
Last Sunday, March 23, 2025, I held a Registrar Workshop, it had been rescheduled from the previous week as my internet failed. There was a small group, but I was able to introduce the Workshop Power Point and the Fellow Connection database that is at the heart of registration for Area 72 and the GSO (General Service Office of AA in New York)
There will be more workshops to keep everyone informed and to continue to answer questions and give support to all District Registrar’s.
Upcoming Zoom Workshops are June 15, 2025, September 14th,2025 and January 11th, 2026, all from 4:00pm to 5:30pm.
Of course, you can contact me for questions or concerns at #206-280-5645 (Call or Text) and registrar@area72aa.org . Please check out the Area 72 website at Area72AA.org / Events.
I am struggling and grateful at the same time as I think many do in a new service position. Wondering what I have gotten into and if I am up for the task. Continuing to remember what my predecessor told me to keep in mind – that AA Service is for FUN and for FREE. It is with great humility that I look for a new service sponsor and that I pray for my HP to hold my perfectionist’s hand.
So, with computer on my lap and love in my heart to be of service to each person in Area 72, from my home state where this little alcoholic grew-up I wish you all sobriety beyond your wildest dreams.
In Service and with Respect,
Houston L.
