DISTRICT 11

July. 2015

This last Month has been a little on the exciting side for me. I have been working with Angie, Curtis, and Sam and together we have gotten the Hill Air Force Base Group back up and running. We have been meeting for 3 weeks now and have the script complete. It is a Big book study and we meet in the basement of the Chapel in Bldg. 445 every Thursday from 11:30 to 12:20. It will be moved to room 9 on Thursday July 16 for just this one Thursday then back to the basement.

This is a little short but that is about all I have to report on this month,

Thank you all for allowing me to serve you..

Dave VB.

district11dcmc@utahaa.org

Hello, Friends,

My name is Devin and I am an alcoholic.

I appreciate all of you who devote time and energies to general service. I believe it helps

in carrying the message to the alcoholic who is still out there suffering and may not be

aware there is an answer in AA.

Thanks to all of you who attended last month’s meeting to hear our Area 69 Delegate

present her report from this year’s General Service Conference.

I am very excited that we were able to fill two more of our service positions in District

11. Thanks so much to Tammy L for her willingness to serve as CPC Standing Chair as

well as Kristiana H for her willingness to serve in the position of Public Information

Committee Chair.

We have two area events coming up that District 11 will be hosting. In September, we

will host the Fall Assembly at the Legacy Events Center in Farmington. Thank you to

Laurie S and her committee for the work they have done in planning for this event. In

December, we will host the December Committee Meeting/Area Inventory. If you have

not volunteered to help out at these events, please consider doing so. We especially need

several volunteers for the December Committee Meeting/Area Inventory. We also need

someone to step up to chair the December Committee Meeting/Area Inventory as our

previous chair has found it necessary to step down.

Thank you for serving and allowing me to serve,

Devin C
