So, I'm back from my third Area World Service Committee meeting in Burlington. It has been great to get to know people from all over the North Carolina/Bermuda area.

I've sent out the flyer for the next NC/BDA convention in 2011. Yes, it is out early. Yes, we are still at the Days Inn in Southern Pines. This location being either (a) not the best maintained site or (b) too far was a significant comment gleaned from the over 150 Convention survey responses. We did choose this location for one more year while we look for a different site to sign a 3 year contract with. More on the search effort over the coming year.

We are still looking for an Alateen Coordinator, Office Coordinator and Literature Coordinator for the District. So, if you are interested in these positions, please contact me at district5dr @ gmail.com.

I'm still feeling very overwhelmed by the many duties required by this position but so many have offered your support that I'm happily still plugging along. I'm learning to ask for help too.

Recovery from knee surgery is going well. I'm at work and off crutches. Now I just have physical therapy appointments twice a week to add to my schedule.

Enough from me today. Hope you are all finding some little bit of serenity today.
Yours in service,
Angela

Monday musings

Hi everyone out there in District 5,
I know most of you don't even know about this blog yet, but I'm going to try and get in the habit of at least reaching out here occasionally. We are currently looking at revamping the whole District 5 website thanks to our Website Coordinator Hayes R. (go Hayes!) Eventually I would like to have a link to this on the website for all of you to visit if you so choose, that includes all the membership, not just GR's.

So, I'm entering my sixth month here as DR and I will tell you "whew." All the things Dick R didn't mention about this job. No ramp up either - just bam there it is to be tackled right at the first Area World Service committe meeting in January. Then Winter Roundup, the District meeting, my father's cancer diagnosis; next thing I knew we were heading to Spring Assembly and now it is June!

I am enjoying meeting all of you and I promise one of these days I'll remember all of your names right off the bat. I'm getting better slowly but surely.

Oh yes - still looking to fill two positions at the District level. Office Coordinator and Alateen Coordinator. If you are interested email me at district5dr @ gmail.com.

Take care my Al-Anon friends and family.
Angela B

new stuff

Hi all of you in District 5. Greetings from your District Representative. Our Area Website Coordinator has set up this blog for me. Maybe a way to communicate with all of you GR's, Treasurers, and the membership in whole. We will see.

I will tell all of you that in the first 5 months of having this job, I have a whole new respect for the work Dick R did for the last 3 years. It is a lot of information to keep up with.

Yours in service,
Angela B
