District 5 Report - July 2025

Hello Area 41!

I’m Brody, Alcoholic/Addict and the New DCM for District 5.

Overall, things are well in the district. We’ve gone through some changes in the last year. We’ve lost Ashley to District 6, and a lot of Oldtimers are stepping down. We do have quite a few new individuals stepping up for GSR positions and other service roles to fill the holes being left by Oldtimers. It’s great to see the newer faces, and especially younger generations, getting more involved. We had two new GSRs attend Area this weekend for the first time, Kathy and Jenna. We’re excited about the new enthusiasm.

Meeting attendance seems to be steady for the majority of meetings, strong for others, and some are struggling. We’ve had a Women’s Meeting open in Tecumseh at 7 pm on Thursdays. Jaywalkers on Saturday night in Nebraska City has turned into a strong meeting for folks at the treatment facility, Mission Field. It’s been a busy summer with lots of things going on, and lots more AA functions to look forward to.

I am getting up to speed as the new DCM as quickly as I can. I’m excited but nervous about the new service opportunity. I’m starting to get around to the meetings in the district to make sure everything is going well and they know who the new DCM is, and to get things updated for the Registrar. There sure is a lot more to AA than “just going to meetings”! I’m looking forward to the next part of this journey.

Thank you for allowing me to be of service.
Brody H., District 5 DCM
