DCM: Dale L.

Dale expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to serve as the District 71 DCM for the last two years. She expressed the importance to our individual recovery in serving as a trusted servant in AA.

The fall assembly that met at Lake Junaluska in November had 250 members in attendance. The participation of members from District 71 was very nice. There were nine agenda items to be considered for votes and all passed. (please go to the District 71 website to view each individual item)

There were several issues with the venue at Lake Junaluska, including handicap accessibility, problems with street crossings, stairs, distance from hall to rooms, ect. It is a very nice place, but perhaps not suited for large assemblies.

Our Area 51 delegate, Rainer, gave an excellent speech which can be found on the District 71 website in the readers corner.

Area 51 Inventory forms are available on the website. The Area would like to receive feedback from as many AA members as possible. Forms can be filled out and submitted by e mail or regular mail.

April 2,2022 District 70 pre-conference with District 71 as co-host. Will be in person.

Print outs on Safety and AA were passed out to share with home groups.
