CHAIR REPORT-JAN13

Wow! It’s hard to believe it has already been a year since we started this panel! Where did the time go? The past 12

months have been both fun and productive. Our first assem-bly this year was in Merced. Everyone was brand new in

their service position, and we got the opportunity to get to

know each other. In April, we had our Pre-Conference As-sembly in Lodi. There we shared with our Delegate the voice

of the groups. And in May, we all met in Rocklin to hear our Delegate’s report. Our last assembly, Mini-PRAASA, was held

in Angels Camp, and a good time was had by all. Last month, we held our annual December Planning Meeting.

There we decided where we are going to have our assem-

blies in 2014. Not to mention, all the food that showed up for our potluck…Yum!

Over the past year, there have been a few challenges, mostly dealing with finances. But as an Area, we have come togeth-

er to meet our State and Federal obligations, and we’re work-

ing to finalize our 2013 budget (spending plan). At the Win-ter Assembly in Yuba City, we get the opportunity to elect a

new Treasurer. Please don’t take this responsibility lightly. As trusted servants in General Service, one of our most im-

portant jobs is to elect officers who exhibit leadership quali-ties and have a com-

plete willingness to

do whatever is asked. If you are

currently a DCM, you are eligible to stand

for this position with-

out personal nomi-nation. If you are

not a DCM, you will need to be nominat-

ed by a district.

Each district can put forth one nominee.

mit your resume is Saturday, January 19th at 12:00 p.m.

Also at this coming assembly, we will get to hear the report-

back from the Area Inventory we took in October. We will have the opportunity to discuss the Young People’s proposal

to have another appointed chair position. We will discuss the motion regarding the Accents. It reads as follows:

MOTION: CNIA Area Accents be published and emailed

in an Anonymous Version only. (Made by John H, D-47 GSR for Gut Level Group Publishing)

This panel we have purchased needed equipment such as computers for our area officers and a new PA system to use at

our assemblies. There is still a lot of work to do. Although we have accomplished much, we cannot afford to rest on our lau-

rels. This coming year, we will be presented with new agenda items. It will be our responsibility to get our groups’ thoughts

and relay those thoughts to our Delegate. We will be faced

with yet more decisions regarding finances. And at the end of this year, it will be our privilege to elect a new group of offic-

ers for Panel 64. Please be mindful of this throughout this year.

I have just a couple of quick announcements. The first one is regarding the NCCAA Spring Conference which is being held in

Fresno on January 25th, 26th and 27th. Please register early. The other announcement is regarding PRAASA 2013 which is

approaching us fast. It is being held this year in Boise, Idaho

on the first weekend in March. All officers and appointed chairs are funded to attend. We hope that a number of DCM’s

and GSR’s will also be able to join us in Boise. So please, make your arrangements early and look for others you can

share expenses with.

In closing, I cannot put into words what this last year has

done for me. I have learned so much about cooperation, leadership and responsibility. But most of all, I have been

amazed at the camaraderie and the unconditional love we

have given each other throughout the year. I am so grateful.

With Love and Gratitude,

Vikki L Area Chair

for AAWS and Grapevine staff to share

information and answer questions.

Local Forums were designed to bring

more A.A. information to remote loca-tions of A.A. CNIA may be interested in

requesting a Local Forum on a specific topic in the future.

The following are highlights of the Re-gional Forum in Anchorage, Alaska:

·There was a request for fellowship shar-

ing from the Public Information Commit-tee to consider sharing the language and

the effectiveness of the short form of Tradition 11 and the contrast with the

long form of Tradition 11 with your groups. The PI Committee would like

your comments by December 31st. ·Page 70 of the GSC 2012 Final Report

gave the contributions from CNIA includ-

ing number of members, average contri-bution, memorial contributions, etc. ·

The future of Grapevine structure, pur-pose and literature is being considered.

·Phyllis H, General Manager of GSO,shared that 1600 people visited the of-

fice this year. ·Board Chair, Ward Ewing, spoke of changing times. The Board

Inventory was of primary concern with

management and strategic thinking, print publications disappearing more and

more and looking at projections that are not positive. ·The decision regarding

rotation of Area’s hosting PRAASA will be voted on at the Pacific Region Delegate’s

luncheon at the General Service Confer-ence in May 2013. Our Area is first up in

the rotation, if approved. CNIA will be

placing a bid for the 2017 PRAASA in Area 07!

Area 07 Trusted Servant panelists.

unable to continue and the position is

open. PI/CPC spoke at Chico Treatment Center and had a table at Veterans

Stand-down. BTG committee is not ac-tive, but a couple new people in the Dis-

trict are interested. Our Web Committee is looking at options available for us to

be self-supporting.

shop with 3 different topics: Sponsor-

ship, PI/CPC, and H&I. Special thanks to our panelists and past CNIA 07 Dele-

a new GSR. PI/CPC participated in Re-cover Health Happens sponsored by

D-21 – Betsy L, new DCM for Dick B, outgoing DCM – Thank you D30 for

what you’ve done for us! It is with great sadness that Dick B had to resign based

on personal health. Our District is wind-ing down from ice cream socials, work-

DCM. We are working on our spending plan. I am looking forward to the new

position as DCM.

D-22 – Tom A, DCM -- District Meeting

dition contributions. Becky B, Alt-DCM, and I are making ourselves available to

support and the 7th Tradition. District Archives are moving to a new location.

soon. I am attending more group busi-ness meetings to inform the responsibili-

ties of general service work.

D-24 – Jon S, DCM – 9 trusted serv-

ants attended our 10/10/12 meeting.

when the facility is contracted.

D-25 – Deanna, DCM – D24 and D25

hosted a Post Conference Workshop with

CNIA Delegate Lela who created a fresh and new experience for the 15 at-

tendees. Elk Grove Fellowship is hosting a Traditions Workshop on November 10th

an Church for our District meetings.

D-29 – Nancy M, DCM -- District 29

met on 9/24 with 19 in attendance; 2 new GSRs and a special guest Jenn D,

DCM D-15 and Eservices Chair of CNIA 07. Jenn gave us guidelines and practic-

es on how to start a group or District

website. Considerations were: informed

group conscience; cost per month and

precautions; maintenance each year; caution on links; anonymity; event fly-

ers with contact emails provided they are A.A. approved; person/people who

can access site; etc. All Sacramento

and Spanish District 54 met at Mini-PRAASA to plan for Unity Day 2013.

D-30 – Larry A, DCM – With heavy heart I have to resign as DCM. Thank

you to Area Officers who shared ideas

how I may continue practicing the Third Legacy of sobriety. We elected

new DCM Steve H of Valley Springs Fellowship and Local Committee Mem-

ber (LCM) for our District. Thank you to Titia A, past D30 DCM, Valerie D,

my service sponsor, GSRs and many

others who have given time, guidance and wisdom.

D-31 – Jim H, DCM -- D31 held its monthly business meeting on

10/17/12. 4 groups were represented.

Treasurer reported the total available balance was $899.30, including Pru-

dent Reserve. Group reports were given. Douglas gave service reports

for Delta Intergroup and PI/CPC. ·To

update the status of the proposed merger of D31 and D32, at Septem-

ber’s meeting it was decided to mail an invitation to all active groups in both

Districts to meet, discuss and possibly vote the group conscience regarding a

merger. On 10/17/12, the letter had

not yet been drafted. D31 wishes to move forward to a single District (if

affected groups in D31 and D32 vote to merge) at the end of Panel 62 al-

lowing for a smooth transition. It is

D31 intention to hear the opinions, including minority opinion, of all

groups in D31 and D32. We believe a mailed invitation to all groups will

serve as a communication to get a consensus of each group from their

GSRs, or an elected representative to

speak for their group at D31 and D32.

D-32 – Cynthia B, DCM – Septem-

ber’s District meeting had 4 GSRs, 1 Alt-GSR, PI/CPC and 1 member- at-

large, plus D31 members (DCM and 3 GSRs). ·D31 discussed the possible

merger of our 2 Districts. A letter was

proposed to send to all active groups in both Districts for feedback from the

GSRs. We were reminded that D31 and D32 had divided in 1987 because of

too many groups (54). Currently there are 24 groups in both D31 and D32,

some without GSRs or participation

from groups. It may be beneficial to merge two Districts to better serve

A.A. in our area. ·On 10/17/12 our District meeting met @ 7:30 p.m. with

10 attending. We welcomed 2 new Alt

-GSRs. ·Jim H, D31 DCM attended. We again agreed on an invitation to be

mailed to all active groups to discuss the merging our Districts. ·Several

groups are reading the long form of Tradition 11. ·We are continuing dis-

cussion regarding our District Invento-

ry. ·We asked GSRs to announce the need a Recording Secretary.

D-34 – Philip S, DCM – We had 7 GSRs present at the District meeting

on Wednesday, October 10. We are

sending 3 people to PRAASA in March. We were invited to represent A.A. at

an open house for the Probation De-partment and were invited again for

next year.

D-36 – Roy L, DCM – Unity Day was big success! We don’t have lots of

growth in numbers but the growth is in the hearts of our members.

D-40 – Pete C, DCM -- We had our annual Bass Lake Unity Day with ap-

prox 50 people, including a group from

Fresno. The Traditions Play was per-formed. I had the privilege of sharing

my experience, strength and hope and how it related to my service work in

AA. Our last D40 meeting was held in

Madera and 3 people attended. Oak-hurst Fellowship moved to a new loca-

tion. Oakhurst GSR moved and no Alt-GSR at this time.

D-42 – Brian W, Recording Secre-tary for Bill L, DCM – Our District

meeting had 5 GSRs. Sue A gave a

summary of Tradition 5. The 10th An-nual Common Solution Roundup, China

Peak Ski Resort is 8/16-18/2013. ACYPAA has lots of events preparing

for the conference in Fresno March

2013. Northpark Fellowship is asking what contributions should be used for

and increased Prudent Reserve. NCCAA will be in Fresno on January 25

-27, 2013.

D-43 – Rodney M, DCM – On 10/7/12 our District met in Kingsburg

to generate participation with ‘dark groups’. 3 GSRs attended plus 3 mem-

bers. It was discussed about merging with D41 and D42 if participation

doesn’t increase. We are preparing for

NCCAA in January 25-27.

D-47 – Sherry B, DCM – Thank you

D30 for hosting Mini-PRAASA! D47 met on 10/3/12 at 7 pm. ·Our Sep-

tember Service Event went well.

Thanks to Lela and Celia for sharing their experience, strength, and hope

with us. And, thank you GSRs, DCMs, CSRs, and H&I members that took to

the time to participate in the panel. Attendance may have been small but

the result was gigantic. A member-at-

large attended Mini-PRAASA due to the Service Event. ·The transition from

previous treasurer is complete and Cheryl will work with the Finance Com-

mittee to implement a budget. ·D47

has a website with anonymous emails set up for the DCM and Treasurer.

Online registration is available for Pre-Conference Assembly.

D-53 – Joel O, Alt-DCM – read by

Luz Maria G – At 10/17 business meeting we had 19 GSRs, 8 Alt GSRs

and 6 visitors. New Officers for: PI Committee: Coordinator Sandra,

pating in the 11th Foro on 12/1 in Fres-

District meetings and we visit other

groups during the month.

D-56 – Martin C, DCM – After our

last meeting the GSRs received agenda items and requested information re-

garding the pamphlets and books that

have been approved. We have had a small number attending our meetings

and the change of rotation in groups has taken longer than expected. We

have continued to learn how general service works at the conference and

thanks to those at the Area who have

helped. This assembly a new GSR present and he is happy to receive all

the information he has received at this assembly.

Motion and seconded to adjourn @

11:44 a.m.
