District News - January 2023

Dear Friends,

This will be my last District 69 Report! It has been an honor and a ride full of growing experiences! Time just flew!

As you know Tradition 5 has always been the Tradition that I base my service on. This has kept me focused on the purpose of my services!

Groups in District 69 have a new District Representative, Annah H., new Alternate District Representative, Denise, and new treasurer, Victoria R. Thank you for accepting the nomination and be willing to serve! 

Positions still open: Secretary, District Alateen Liaison and AIS Liaison. These positions are easy and fun!  

Spotlight on the 12 Steps, 12 Traditions, and 12 Concepts (Back to Basics is hosting January 6th, 13th and 20th – zoom 878648776 pw 031435) so you can experience a spiritual awakening beyond your understanding.  By the way the Spotlight on the Steps, Traditions, and Concepts has a new Committee Chair, Brian!

Once you have attended the Spotlight on the 12 Steps, 12 Traditions, and 12 Concepts remember to attend the bimonthly Al-Anon/Bilingual Writing Workshop Committee (odd month -last Sunday of the month-January 28th zoom 395 556 4737 pw 755000)

We continue to encourage all GR-Group Representative or a CMA-Current Mailing Address (If Group has no GR only CMA) that is already paying for insurance or needs insurance, to please REQUEST FOR INSURANCE FORM NOW! 

The GRs voted to send to AIS-San Diego $2,500.00. We want to make sure they 

have the resources to support District 69 and others.

District 69 is buying a laptop for the Treasurer position and updating the QuickBooks subscription.

Our DAL has done an awesome job. Two new Alateen meetings were opened in our District 69. Below is a more informative list from our DAL:

* District69 has two new Alateen meetings up and running. One new high school meeting, and one new public meeting available. See San Diego AIS website for details.

* Alateen meetings continue to need our greater Al-Anon parent program support. Please encourage your children and others who are affected by this disease to attend local in-person Alateen meetings.

*Alateen sponsor substitutes are always in demand. If you are currently a certified AMIAS(Al-Anon member in Alateen Service), please contact Ron P. at 619-322-8558, to register as a substitute.

* Alateen sponsors are encouraged to keep their meeting status updated with the Area and local AIS office.

* District69 will need a new Alateen liaison (DAL), to cover the rotation position of term coming up this year. Participation is a few hours each month, and willing participants will be enabled firsthand training and assistance to execute duties. This is a three-year commitment. Please submit a nomination or request to Ron P. 619 322-8558.

* District69 has one of the higher concentrations of Alateen sponsors in Southern California. Experience the next level of your personal recovery by volunteering in Alateen service! Our children are our future! Visit the Southern California website for upcoming certifications to become in AMIAS!

APPRECIATION: Our gratitude to all our service arms: AIS-San Diego, SCWS and WSO! Without your support District 69 could not assist the Groups!

Love in Service,

Connie G-K
