Alateen on my mind....

Hi all,
Wow, the blog has two followers! How cool!

So, Alateen seems to have been my focus as District Rep lately. Recruiting AMIIAS (Al-Anon Member Involved In Alateen Service), a new Alateen group wants to form in Matthews, finding an Alateen Coordinator for the District, getting my own AMIIAS approval, the District 5 Guidelines for Alateen & AMIIAS, whew. AMIIAS - say "ah-my-us"

I went and got fingerprinted today for my own FBI background check to be an AMIIAS. Did you know that the District 5 Guidelines for AMIIAS are stricter than those of the Area and WSO? Well they are. We do a FBI background check and sex offender registry search before the District signs off on the AMIIAS application and forwards it to Area 42. I'm going to get these guidelines posted up on our web page for easier access by all.

In the area of recruiting, I know of two people who are taking the steps to get their own AMIIAS application going. I also found an Alateen Coordinator from our existing AMIIAS in the District! Oh happy day for me!!! I just need to figure out now what to hand off to her. I obsess with handing things over to people in "perfect" order and I'm having to work on that. Me? An obsession? Not in this program! Yeah, right.

Anyway, all you Alateens have been on my mind lately and I've enjoyed meeting several of you as well as our AMIIAS who sponsor these groups.

Okay, lunch time is over. Time for me to get back to work.

Yours in service,
Angela B.
