Panel 59
We need Oahu AA Members who are willing to host neighbor island folks needing HOMESTAY for the Inform the Delegate Assembly.
Can you open your hearts and homes to our trusted neighbor island servants that will be coming for one night, Saturday, April 4, 2009? These folks are devoting their extra time and energies to support the organization (Alcoholics Anonymous) that we all love at this Assembly. Please kokua! Click on the following link.

Aloha everyone!
Our website consists of two major components. There’s the underlying blog (web log) software that provides the framework for what we see. It manages the pages and articles and can really be though of as the engine that keeps this all going. The other major portion of the site is the “theme” that is responsible for the look and feel of the site.
Over the weekend the there was a maintenance release of the underlying blog software. Unfortunately that upgrade “broke” the theme of the site. It wasn’t a major problem as I was able to find a fix online that updated the theme to work with the new software in short order.
Generally changing either the software or theme is pretty simple, changing both is somewhat more complex.
You may have noticed some odd things in the past 24 hours. At times the site has been down for a few minutes. At other times the look of the site may have been completely different. And, more subtly, perhaps things just looked slightly different. If so, it wasn’t you, it was us. 
The site should be up and running (actually it was never down for more than 10 minutes) pretty well at the moment. If you you suspect something is broken, please let me know as soon as possible so I can take a look. Don’t forget, you can email at: webmaster@area17aa.org.
There will be more changes to the site in the future, hopefully for the better.
Aloha!
Aloha everyone,
Are you still basking in the glow of our fabulous Orientation Assembly? Want to share your experience with others? Send your Mynah Bird contribution to me @ mynahbird@area17aa.org. We will hopefully have another issue to pass out at the February committee meeting which is right around the corner. We will have a new page called Rule 62, featuring jokes and the lighter side of AA. Poems, original art, all welcome. Please pass this along to your GSRs and other members.
Mahalo for letting me be of service.

Mynah Bird chair
