As Panel 59 commences, I want to extend a heart-felt welcome to all GSR’s, both new, returning, and/or continuing. I am hoping that each of you attends the Orientation Assembly on Kauai on January 24 and 25. (Registration forms are available on our Area 17 Website.)
Please bring your curiosity and passion for service with you. Also bring the 2009 Structures & Guidelines and the GSR Handbook, which are available on our Area 17 Website or from your DCM. Hopefully by the end of the Assembly you will have a greater understanding of your responsibilities. We will be reviewing the above documents and other literature that will aid you in representing your group and in communicating your group conscience to the Assembly.
Get in the habit of checking the Area 17 Website often for information, reports, and area events. I encourage each of you to ask questions regarding your service position and area service in general whenever you feel the need. You will be hearing a lot about our service structure and support system available to you. You do not stay sober alone, and you are not in service alone!
In love & service,
Linda McD
Area 17 Alternate Delegate, Panel 59
