Call for Holiday Bash volunteers…
As of now the bash committee is comprised of
about 10 people. We need a few more helpers -- so if you want to sign
up let me know. If you have any questions or ideas please feel free to
contact me. This is a big event and it takes a lot of time, sweat,
tears, money and love. So feel free to pitch in with even passing out
the Kleenex. Service is part of my recovery.
The Bash Committee meetings are being held
on the last Friday each month until the Bash. The next meeting will be
Friday, 27 July 2007 -- the day before the big BBQ -- at 6:30 p.m. IHOP
-- Rohnert Park. Come early if you want to eat. We will be
downstairs in the back in case we get too loud. Please bring your
bright ideas.

Website Coordinator's report:
I have posted a new Assembly Info
page
Our District believes it is very important for groups to send their
representatives to the Area Assembly. With that goal in mind, the
District has made some “scholarship” funds
available for groups that could not otherwise afford to send their GRs
(Group Representatives)... If you feel that your group is either in
need of funds, can donate to the scholarship fund, or just wants to
find out
more about Assembly, please read the FAQ… Read more >
And
here are our June page hits.
District newsletter report:
The July/August Alagram has come
out, and there are a couple of corrections…
1) The Alateen meeting on Thursday at the Orenda Center
in Santa Rosa that is listed on the back page of the newsletter starts
at 7 pm, not 8 pm.
2) The Assembly article on page 5 is continued on page 6, not page 7 (or you
can just read it here).
Member Share Topic - Dual
Membership:
District 5's
website and its newsletter, The
Alagram, gratefully publish articles contributed by
members from our District (read more about contributing here).
What follows are two member shares, one on each side of the dual
membership issue that will probably be up for
a vote at this Assembly… Read more >
Member Share Topic - 7th Step:
The third time is a
charm…
I have been blessed with the opportunity to
work with several sponsors. I was lucky to work the steps all the way
through with three of them, and it was different every time. Each time
the recovery was at a deeper level.
The third time through, my sponsor surprised
me by assigning me the task of actually writing a 7th step prayer. I
was told not to focus on what was wrong with me that I wanted changed.
I was encouraged to ask to become the person I truly wanted to be,
which meant I had to spend some time and actually think about who I was
at my core that was being obstructed by my “character
defects”...

a Dance Poem:
Inspirations from
Above
Surrendered
… from the Inside Out
“Inspired to dance from my heart,
I freely give that which is freely given to me.”
The inspiration of this choreography comes
from the joy of surrendering to a power greater than myself. Through
prayer, the motivation to move slowly, simply & intentionally,
began to emerge… Read
