As a test, the birthday celebration for everyone who got sober in August will be held the first Friday in September (the 5th). This avoids the situation where the last Friday is on the 29th, but someone sobered up on the 30th. No fronts!
Instead of making them wait until the last Friday of September, we can hold the meeting on the first Friday of September and include all who sobered up in August.
The September business meeting will be where the vote is taken to keep or revert this change. Our business meeting is the second Friday of every month.
Our Delegate, Matthew L., who went to the 75th General Service Conference in New York City, will present his report on the conference. The presentation will be at New Life Church in Clovis, at 2165 Gettysburg Avenue, from noon to 2 PM. Lunch will be provided.
If you want to attend online, the Zoom meeting ID is 831 0161 7429. You will need the passcode 347842.
A while ago, our website was crashing every few minutes, and the problem was the calendar we were using. We got a new calendar, but as it turns out, it is pretty low quality. Click here for the Zoom link and documents for the District 47 Meeting on July 15, at 7 PM
The link and documents are in the calendar but only show up on July 1st, because Sugar Calendar is dumb1.
Many members of District 47 will be going to Canada to attend the International Convention of Alcoholics Anonymous. Last month, we decided to bump the District 47 meeting to the third Tuesday (from the first Tuesday).
We hope you will join us for our Founders’ Day Picnic at Mooney Grove Park in Visalia this Saturday, June 14th. There has been a slight adjustment: a tree fell and clobbered a portion of Arbor 9.
We’re moving to Arbors 4, 5, 6, and 8. So instead of heading to the back of the park (east), hang a right and head south.
On this day, 90 years ago, Alcoholics Anonymous was founded by our first two members: Bill Wilson and Doctor Bob Smith.
The planning meeting for the Founders’ Day Picnic is Monday at 5:30 PM, June 9th. Our Founders’ Day Picnic will be Saturday, June 14th.
