What’s an AA Round-Up----and

WHY   Should  I Be There?

As a member of AA, I need to know how Area 31 (Western Mass.) and my District (Dist. 3-Berkshire County, for example) work...and why it's important to be there, for me and my recovery, to listen and learn.

During the calendar year, all AA's are invited to join Area Committee members and Group Service Representatives (GSR's) at one fall and one spring assembly weekend, the Annual State Convention and the Round Up. The Round Up is an informative, learning and participatory event held in late spring every year. One of the primary purposes and timing for this gathering is the annual report from our Area Delegate on the Agenda items discussed at the weeklong April General Service Conference in New York City. The Area Delegate provides the conduit between the Area and The GSO, and vice-versa. He/She will also bring pertinent information, concerns and questions to the G SO on behalf of the Area.

The Round Up is a wonderful opportunity to socialize with old (and new) friends and participate in well thought-out workshops, revolving around this year's theme: "Communications & Participation:  The Key to Unity and Self-support"   Highlighting the day is an old timers' sharing session, a play by the Grapevine Thespians, and the  WMass AA Cheerleaders!  A buffet dinner, a distinguished speaker from GSO, followed by dancing 'til midnight (led by a great DJ), will culminate this enjoyable event. The Round Up affords all of us a chance for personal reflection as well as warm group conviviality with many of our Area 31(& elsewhere) brothers and sisters.

Come join us Saturday JUNE 14^th for a day that's sure to help enhance our sobriety and promises for living a quality life. Look and ask for more information and flyers from your GSR at your group meetings.
