Self Support Update

Dear Self Support Chairs/Alternate DCM’s, I hope your presentations are going well and I look forward to hearing from you. Part of what I believe the Self Support Role should be, is, to encourage participation in all areas of service, one of the ways to do this is too support the many service days and information days held in our Area.



One that is important and may have wide interest is the Archives Workshop being held in Kingston. The information is below and you may want to mention this in your presentations, we can learn a lot by listening to the wisdom and experience of those that have come before us. Preserving our history is critical to our fellowship. I will post this on our Blog as well. The Area 83 Archivist has a new Blog that she will be updating periodically with interesting information; already on the Blog is information on how to do an Oral History. Here is the link http://area83archivist.blogspot.com/



Please also note that our Registrar has a helpful Blog with group information forms etc… this makes it easy for the groups in your districts, here is the link to his Blog http://area83registrar.blogspot.com/



We have all linked our Blogs together which makes it easy for Area 83 members to access information.



A call letter requesting resumes of those interested in being considered for the role of Area 83 Webmaster and Area 83 Alternate Webmaster has been sent out to the DCMs, please help spread the message. A copy of these call letters is available if you would like one, however because full names are used I won’t be posted it on the Blog.



I also have some interesting “Ask It Basket” topics coming up…… so keep coming back to the Blog for more information.
