District 1 Report - July 2025

Greetings Area 41,

District 1 has had a productive couple of months, and we’re looking forward to a couple of exciting upcoming events. Our biggest item on the horizon is that our Area 41 Delegate will be visiting District 1 on Tuesday, August 5th at 7:00 p.m. at River of Life Lutheran Church. He’ll be sharing his report from the 2025 General Service Conference. We’re inviting all local members to attend, and we’ll be providing coffee, cookies, and a literature raffle. On Tuesday, November 4 th Election Day, District 1 will hold our own district elections during our regularly scheduled meeting. That same evening, we’ll also be hosting a District Inventory Event, inviting members from groups across our district to help us reflect on where we’re doing well and where we could improve. If any members of Area41 have experience facilitating a district inventory, we’d be grateful for your input. And if your group is part of District 1 and you’re reading or hearing this, please consider attending. Your participation matters.

To support these efforts, I’ve resumed visiting meetings throughout the district to spread the word, collect contacts, and encourage involvement. I’m also gathering emails from members willing to receive our district newsletter, even if it just helps raise awareness and keep us connected.
Some highlights from recent district activity:

In April, we held a workshop focused on Steps 4 and 5 with over 65 people in attendance. The turnout was so strong we nearly ran out of food, but attendees came through with a surplus of sides and desserts that were clutch. In June, the district approved two Grapevine subscriptions for AA members in a correctional facility within our district. In July, we voted to provide a case of Big Books for a Saturday morning meeting held at a homeless shelter that attracts many attendees from a local treatment program. We currently have a couple of open service positions in the district and at least one person doing double duty. Getting new trusted servants involved continues to be a top priority for us.

In Service, Charles C.
