Working to stay sober and help other alcoholics achieve sobriety
If you are coming to Santa Fe for the area assembly in March, you will be pleased to know that Courtyard Marriott has offered a special “assembly rate” of $62 a night. The catch is that this rate has an expiration date that is quite soon. In order to get the rate you will need to register at the Courtyard Marriott before 5pm on Friday (2/26).
My name is Olivia Ogorek and I have the privilege to serve as district 2 DCM(district committee member). Did you know that district 2 covers the Santa Fe, Abiquiu, Cerrillos, Rowe, Galisteo, Pecos and Madrid communities? In those communities there are 90+ meetings and only a few registered groups. The groups GSR(General Service Representative) is the voice of the groups conscience. Trusted Servants, GSR’s and Committee Chairpersons meet the second Tuesday of each month, 6:30-7:30pm in the hospitals board room to share ideas, report happenings and to share our experience, strength and hope with one another. Also during the district meeting Committee Chairs share briefly on what has transpired in their committees. The El Farolito (our Area(NM) Newsletter) and Central Office are also represented. You might be asking yourself What Committees?
Service is about reaching out, educating and informing, letting anyone reaching out for help to know that the hand of AA is there. This is what the committees strive to accomplish. The committees are: Public Information, Cooperation with the Professional Community, Corrections, Treatment Facilities, Archives, Bridge the Gap, District and State Functions, Entertainment/Events, Spanish Outreach and Webmaster. There are a few committees waiting for those persons who are ready to step into a fuller aspect of service. Are you that person?
This year holds much promise and excitement in our AA community and the electronic age can assist us in becoming better informed with our Recovery, Unity and Service. I suggest and encourage all members to check out ourAA websites:
Santafeaa.org and newmexicoaa.org
In closing, the life I have today I owe to Alcoholics Anonymous, you patiently showed me the doorway to experiencing that power greater than myself and allowing me to be of service in all aspects of my life. And for that I am Grateful!
If you have any questions about your District or how to step up for an available committee positions please email me at district2@newmexicoaa.org.
In Service with Love,
Olivia O.
DCM district 2
