Over at the Young People’s committee, we are preparing for our next quarterly. It will be held on Saturday, 4/26/25 from 12:00 – 3:00 PM at the Lynnwood Alano Club. It will be a hybrid event. Fellowship will begin at 11:30 AM. Come join us for food, fellowship, and service! Even if you don’t have a Young People’s committee chair, I encourage districts to consider sending a representative, so they can bring back the information to your district members. All are welcome!
This month I got the opportunity to go to PRAASA, where I met members from other areas, who are doing some great YP work. I’m excited to have some speakers from Area 8 (San Diego/Imperial) coming to our next quarterly to talk about some of the amazing work they are doing in their area to get young AA members involved in general service. I also was able to participate in a workshop put on by district 25 about how to be a committee chair. I met some people who are doing great service work in Area 72 and I’m excited to collaborate with them to see how we can reach out to more young people.
Last rotation, you may remember that the Area 72 Young People’s committee put on several events to record videos of AA members who got sober young. The committee also collaborated with some districts to put on workshops about safety when working with minors. This rotation, the committee has been brainstorming ways to get young AA members involved in general service, as well as ways to reach young still suffering alcoholics in the community, who have not yet made it to AA. We have talked about hosting events and workshops to get more people involved. Since we are still at the beginning of the rotation, we haven’t had any events yet, besides the quarterly, as an Area. However, some of the districts in Area 72 with active YP committees are already holding successful events and workshops. I’m excited to continue to learn from them, as well as from other Areas about how we can get young people involved in service and how we can continue to carry the message to young people.
More will be revealed!
