District 8C
Meeting
Saturday March 21,
2015
Greetings and thank you all for attending todays
meeting. Glad you could all make it and
once again thank you for your service.
As for my report I just have a few things to report on. I
had the pleasure in attending the 61st Annual AA Jamboree held in
Corpus Christi beginning on the 23rd thru the 25th of
January. I could only attend on
Saturday, but spent most of the day there. I would also like to thank Steve and Karen M. for treating me to an
awesome meal at Landry’s, it was the first time ever for me eating there and
really enjoyed the meal and company! I
really enjoyed the speaker meetings as well and also purchased a book thru the
silent auction.
Also in January I attended the SWTA 68 Winter workshop
held in Fulton from Jan. 30 thru Feb.1. it was held at the Fulton convention
center and hosted by Dist. 15 which by the way did an outstanding job. The
venue was real nice and we had plenty of room and the hospitality was
great. As for me the highlight of the
weekend was giving a presentation on Tradition 9. I was somewhat nervous, but
what really inspired me was seeing the other members giving their
presentations, seeing their courage and humility, even thou they were also nervous and maybe not as articulate
as other speakers. But everyone was real supportive and encouraging, I think I
could have probably done a little better job, but was told afterwards that I
did a good job, but I guess I’m my own worst critic, but am glad I had the
opportunity to give the presentation
Also in Jan. I, Linda and Jimmy K, and Bill J visited the
Alice group at their Tuesday nite mtg. Which I thought was a good meeting and
had a pretty good attendance, we tried to spark some interest in that group
getting involved with the District . I
would like to thank Linda for being our spokesperson, and thanks to the
rest of you for making the effort to be there.
On Feb. 11th Don and I attended our first
planning meeting held at the CBIA office for the upcoming PI/CPC Area 68 conf. to
be held on Sept. 25-26 2015 in Corpus Christi.
Dist. 8C is co hosting along with Dists. 8D and 8E. The Luncheon with
professionals will be held at Water St. restaurant on Fri. the 25th,
tickets will be available for purchase for $25.00. Workshops and speakers will
be held at the University, but all that is still being finalized. The next planning meeting is planned for Sat. March 7th at New Phoenix
group and anyone wanting to attend is welcome and will start at 2pm.
Also on 14 Feb. I had the pleasure of attending the ASL
workshop hosted by Dist. 8D at the New Phoenix group and Michael D. our Area 68
Treatment chair was the presenter. There was discussion back and forth
about the proposal being considered
about the area providing asl at area assemblies and conferences. This proposal
will be discussed and voted on during the business meeting at the SWTA 68 2015
Pre-General Service Assembly to be held in Brownwood March 27-29 2015. And reads as follows “The Area will provide
ASL translation at Area events as determined by the Area Chairperson.”
Also on March 21st Dist. 8D is hosting a Pre-Pre-General Service
Mock conference that I plan on attending, to kind of prepare for the upcoming
real Pre-General Service conf. a week later.
In conclusion I would like to thank you all for your
continued efforts and commitment to service and for all your support and
encouragement.
Yours truly in service, Mario R. DCM, District 8C.
