Hello everyone! Happy February!
Our District 5 had a busy January
with our Cabin fever/ Gratitude day. We had about 45 people attend and we all had
a marvilous time! Now we can leap into
this month because it is leap year. Let’s remember that we are never alone in
this and that we all have a higher power with us at all times. Enjoy all the
great weather and our great meetings. Check out the bulletin board sharings for
Feb. on “First things first”. I have the District 5 information cell phone this
month and I look forward to answering calls. I have not had any so far, but I
do check it regularlly. Bless you for being in the program and have a great
leap year! Cheryl B, District 5 Rep.
DISTRICT 5 BUSINESS MEETING:
The
Next District 5 business meeting is scheduled for Saturday, March 24, 2012; from
11:00 am to 1:00 pm. The meetings will be held at King of Kings Lutheran
Church, 2685 Packard Road, Ann Arbor. ALL
Al-Anon members are welcome to attend!
Have you been to a District meeting before? Please consider checking
this one out – new faces and new ideas are needed and will be welcome!
Reminder: Let’s always remember that the
newcomer is the most important person at any meeting! Our Fifth Tradition states, “Each Al-Anon
Family Group has but one purpose: to help families of alcoholics. We do this by
practicing the Twelve Steps of AA ourselves, by encouraging and understanding
our alcoholic relatives, and by welcoming and giving comfort to families of
alcoholics.” Our Twelfth Step encourages us to “carry this message to others.”
There are many ways our program reaches out to welcome family and friends of
alcoholics – especially newcomers to our program. Most groups provide
literature packets for newcomers, and have a “first
Step”/beginner’s table for newcomers or hold a “first Step”/beginner’s meeting
when newcomers attend their meeting.
