Although for the most part we only have 4 active groups in \n General Service District 3 remains financial solvent thanks in whole to group participation and contributions. In attendance at this assembly is Steve \n McK Graduates Group, Dave M, Mesquite AA Group, Lisa S, Weekend Warriors and Rabecca F How it Works Group. Our Service Festival held in \n Mesquite in May was well supported by Area 42 officers and chairs and well attended by AA members. Great food, information and fellowship. During \n the AA meeting before the event a fellow was attending his first AA meeting reminding us why we're here. District 3 is supplying the donuts for our \n November SAGSC meeting or as Jonelle puts it we're hosting.

I am pleased to announce that I now have an alternate DCM. Sonny will \n be stepping into that role for the final portion of the term. We held district elections for the upcoming two year cycle last month. I am delighted that we \n have filled all the major offices for the next cycle. I would like to thank everyone that stepped up to fill these positions. I would especially like to thank \n Sonny, who will be taking over for me as the new DCM at the end of the year. We have started reading a concept at every district meeting, followed by a \n discussion on it as time allows. Last week we had Roberta come and give us her presentation on accessibility. Next month we will be having Patrick give \n his presentation on Bridging the Gap. Thank you for listening. Wayne H.

In June we had a pre-history of \n Alcoholics Anonymous workshop that was a huge success. It was attended by over 60 people in spite of the fact that there were numerous other events \n that were going on at the same time. We have our annual picnic set to go on the 2nd Sunday of October; flyers are available. We are also doing another \n joint workshop with districts 3,7 and 9. The theme is “Why AA works”. Our panelists will touch on steps 10 and 11; traditions 5,6 and 10 and Concepts \n 3,4 and 5. The purpose of this workshop is to give some exposure to how AA works from a broad view. It will take place on the 5th of Nov at the \n Serenity Club. Complete information should be out on our websites in a couple of weeks. We’re still finalizing some details. So this is my final assembly \n as the DCM of District 5B. I want to express my gratitude for being given the opportunity to serve the Area is this capacity. Our district has been blessed \n with some awesome people who have been willing to step up to the plate and jump in and participate. It’s been a real privilege to be the facilitator of this \n fantastic group of GSR’s and officers. Going forward I feel confident that the next crew will continue the tradition of excellence. Again, thanks.

These individuals will begin there service positions in January. Every position was \n filled except for one committee chair. Mile L. Will be our new DCM and Drew H. will be the Alt DCM. The District has been gathering some new \n GSR's and having some groups participate that have been off the radar for a while. Our District is hosting the NNIG Speaker meeting in October, so \n please come support Intergroup on the 15th of October 7:00 pm at the Silver Legacy. District 6 will also be hosting a traditions panel workshop in \n October with past Delegates features as the presenters, more details on the way ...but for sure it will be in Carson City and include food!

I currently serve as your District 7 DCM. What an honor and privilege it is to \n serve you in this position. I am now in the last few months of my term and it has been great to be able to serve at this capacity. This year has been \n amazing as we have had great participation within our District. We consistently have 20 to 25 GSR’s and Alt’s at our monthly business meetings. As I \n have said before it is refreshing to have this much enthusiasm and participation within our District. Thanks to everyone in District 7 on making my job \n easier. We had our 2nd event of the year in June and it was a great success. It was titled “Snow White and the 7 Character Defects.” We had over 120 in \n attendance and what a great way to give back to the District. Thanks to all who attended Our 3rd event was on August 21st “The 31st Annual District 7 Mt. \n Charleston Picnic.” Went off without a hitch mostly, had us scratching our heads at times and questioning ourselves as well. Amazing that trusting in \n God and his plan for us always seems to work better than our plans. The smoking ban was lifted the food was great and the music by Brad and his band \n “Coinslot” was fantastic. The kids had fun playing games and winning prizes as well as our 50/50 raffle which over $375 was donated to central office. \n Nice to be able to give back!! Parking was thought to be an issue but worked itself out. Imagine that. Again thanks to the hard work of our picnic \n committee, fun was had by all, under the direction of Sherrie W. Our final service event of the year we have decided to have a multi District event with \n District 5B on Nov 5th at the Serenity Club from 11-2pm. The details and flyers will be out soon, of course there will be food. As our year comes to a \n close I am very grateful that you have allowed me to serve you as the DCM for District 7 and will continue my work in General Service as long as that is \n what Gods plan is for me. I love coming to Tonopah for our Assembly’s and getting to know our friends in the North. Thank you again for allowing me \n to be a part of Area 42 in any capacity. Have a great Weekend.","bbox":{"left":0.049018,"top":0.553413,"width":0.905663,"height":0.19811299999999998}},{"text":"District 8; Scott, Hi Everyone, It is great to see you all in Tonopah again for this fall assembly. It was a long hot summer and fall is on the way. For the \n past two years it has been my privilege to serve as the DCM for District 8. Our district is located in Eastern California. It runs south to north about 100 \n miles between Lone Pine and the Nevada border. The main population centers are Bishop and Mammoth Lakes and there are currently 10 registered \n groups. The newest group in the district is in Benton California and they celebrated their 6th anniversary this past August. The oldest group is the Bishop \n group that has been holding meetings at the same location for over 60 years. I would like to fill you in on some events that have taken place in our \n district since we last met as a body in the spring. District 8 held its 4th annual Chili-Cook off in June and that event was very well attended. Mike M. \n traveled from Las Vegas to deliver his Delegate's report and Joyce Y. traveled from Reno to give a General Service 101 presentation. We also had the \n District archive binders on display. Thanks to Pat S. for providing copies of those and to all of the district members who helped make that event possible. \n The 40th annual Mammoth Lakes campout took place last weekend in Mammoth Lakes and was very well attended. This was a multi-day event with \n plenty of food and activities. A high-light for me was the Saturday night pot-luck/campfire/speaker meeting. As usual the food and fellowship was great \n and the speaker was very good. This is an annual event held every August and all are welcome. At our last district business meeting in July, we \n conducted the second reading and voting on our district guideline revisions. All of the proposed revisions were accepted by a majority of the voting \n members present. This guideline revision process started at the second business meeting of this rotation and took about 18 months to complete.
