Activities - Chairperson's Report

Hello Family,

I am an addict named Jesse M. Well! This past month has seen a 180 degree turn around in the South Broward Area Activities Committee. We went from two consistent members in mid January to what was at last count 16 people at our last meeting. I think that is awesome! We are a young committeeand would love any input from groups and individual members of the South Broward Area. There are two ways to give that input, one is to go to the committee meetings held on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month at 6:30 P.M. at Hollywood Methodist church. The other way is to talk to any member of the committee. They in tun can take the idea, "Your idea"! to the next meeting. We have event coming up on April 6th for our 17th anniversary. Flyers are going out to groups today. Thank You all for your support and for allowing me to give back.

Jesse M.

Literature Distribution –Greetings from the Literature Committee;

All is well; we are finally settling in with the recent price increases due to the additional shipping charges incurred from the Florida Region. Last month when I created the printed version of the order form I failed to change the prices on some of the items on the order form. I have emailed a copy of the newest version of the order form to the GSR's whose email address I have on record. Additionally, I have extra copies of the newest version of the order form with the proper price increases in the back for the GSR's to take back to their groups. I apologize for any confusion this issue may have caused. I believe as long as we have no additional changes from the Florida Region or World the order form will remain unchanged. Thanks for your patience.

I also have additional copies of theC.A.R. Report for anybody who needs them. If your group has not signed for a free copy of the report please see one of the members of the Literature Committee. For individuals who want their own copy I have them for sale for $11.00 per copy.

The Literature Committee is in need of a vice chair, the clean time requirements for the vice chair is 2 years. In August when I step down somebody will need to be able to take over as the Literature Chair. If you know anybody interested, have them contact me for more information.
