MAINE OFFICERS REPORTS
Area Chair:  I attended District 4’s Round-up at the beginning of this month and it was a wonderful time and amazing to see how cultures can mesh so nicely in our AA fellowship. It has been a great honor to be Area 28 Chair for these past two years. Thank you for allowing me to serve as your Area Chair. Linda T.

Alt. Area Chair: I attended the Casco Speakers Meeting/ District 17 anniversary celebration, District 3 Round-up and District 4’s Round-up and I didn’t get arrested! As the Archives Committee Chair I have attended an Archives Workshop and have accompanied the traveling archives display. I have enjoyed attending these many functions and look forward to continuing. Paul L.

Area Secretary:  It has been an honor and privilege to serve as your Area Secretary. I have learned so much, my sobriety has been enhanced, and I have met many wonderful friends in the fellowship. Thank you for allowing me to serve. Mary Lou Q.

Alt. Area Secretary:  It is with regret that I must resign as Alt. Secretary. I have recently married and have my own business that, instead of allowing me time off for Area business, has required much more commitment in these economic times. I will be staying closer to home in AA. Thank you for electing me and giving me a chance to serve.  Dana G.

Area Treasurer: I am a very Grateful Alcoholic who has had the pleasure of serving Maine Area 28 as Treasurer for the past 12 months. Last year at the fall assembly Linda appointed me and Maine Area confirmed me as Treasure when Tony V. needed to step down to take care of family situations.  Budgets and actual spending have been a source of constant concern for me over these past two years. As our past delegate and one of my mentors, Teddy S. always said “Don’t worry, the money will be there if it is needed.” Our groups have come through for us. We were able to achieve our goal of raising our Prudent Reserve to $5000.00 and going into this assembly we have a balance of $3695.14 in our checking account before this assembly’s expenses. Teddy was right (as usual) and we are getting just what we need to squeak by….less problems of money, property, and prestige….Yours in service Ray A.

Alt. Area Treasurer: I have the pleasure to serve as your Treasurer / Finance Committee Chairperson. I was appointed and confirmed to this position at the 2008 Fall Assembly after serving on the finance committee, when Ray stepped into the position of Treasurer. At our Spring Assembly 2009, those in attendance were informed of the alarming concern that existed with our Maine Area finances. At that time our Prudent Reserve was barely $300.00 and we had less than $40.00 in our checking account. Since the Spring Assembly there have been Group and District trusted servants who have responded through group 7th tradition contributions, understanding that serving the sick and suffering alcoholic and spreading the message comes with a cost. I thank you and God daily for the opportunity to serve you. Byron B.

Alt. Area Delegate:  The position of Alternate Delegate has been devoid of work with Kathi D. doing such a terrific job as our Area Delegate. The Alt. Delegate is also the Guidelines Committee Chair and that is where I have kept busy. The guidelines committee keeps us on track doing what we are suppose to be doing in a consistent manner. We have brought before the Area ten sets of guidelines for our various standing committees including guidelines for the guidelines committee, that are in a simple, uniform format. There is still plenty to keep the next Alt Delegate busy as Guidelines Chair. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve you. Spencer R.

Area Delegate: I serve you as your delegate for Maine Area 28 which is a true privilege and honor. This is my last report to the Maine Area as an area officer. For the last 13 years I have been with you in the area starting as a GSR for the West Newfield Sunday Night Meeting then I was elected LCM for District 13 in which I attended and reported to the district all the meetings that were in the boonies of the district. During an election assembly, Mark T. looked over at me and said “you should stand for Area Alt. Secretary”. You elected me Alt. Secretary. Two years flew and I stood for Area Secretary.  I stood for Area Chair and was picked out of the hat. That was a growing experience. I stood for Alt. Delegate as Denny O. was being elected Area Delegate, another person who was patient with me and taught me by example just like the many others, of how to truly serve. Then you elected me your Area 28 Delegate for panel 58. Words cannot express how grateful I am to all of you who have given me this opportunity; boy oh boy what a ride it’s been. I want to thank all the voting members taking time to be part of this wonderful spiritual principle called the 3rd legacy procedure and for taking responsibility for ensuring another two years of the Area being able to do its work. It is what Bill W. wanted when he was writing up our traditions and concepts 1 and 2. Thank you very much. Kathi D, Area 28 Delegate for Panel 58

STANDING COMMITTEE / POSITIONS REPORTS

Archivist Report: It has been another productive year. The traveling archives display was available and displayed all over Area 28. I focused this year on gathering materials, books, as well as stories from our past. The highlight is the original copy of the daily reading book Dr. Bob read from every day. His copy is still in Akron, Ohio. Jeff W. and I have also been converting cassette tapes to CD’s, researched and produced new handouts such as the origin of the Serenity Prayer and stories about AA members in Maine meeting Bill Wilson, coming home from World War II and chips, medallions and much more. We have new cardboard displays and have recorded some of the old timers. There is a CD/DVD library of master copies and about 200 different handouts. I’m hoping that the next Archives committee will focus on restoring some of our treasures that, within ten years, will be ashes if they are not preserved. Two manuscripts of special concern are Captain Jack’s original manuscript and the Neil Wing book, which are both signed with notes from each. I have proposed using some of the budget for acid free folders for our fire proof filing cabinets plus other materials needed for preservation. I have some ongoing projects to finish and would like to continue converting cassette tapes to CDs with my friend Jeff for the archives. I have compiled an extensive research library online and have CDs on the preservation process. The last prayer on service work from me to you- I pray and trust in you to do this work, keeping our program strong, and remembering to leave our egos at home. I never can repay what has been so freely given to me…. In love and service, Gordon M. just a common drunk.

BTG Report:  I’d like to thank all the AA groups and AA meetings that meet in treatment centers and correction facilities, for their support in providing temporary contacts for newcomers who have reached out for help. I had 7 BTG calls this month and have helped over 80 clients from Crossroads for Women. Once again, I’d like to thank Sandy K. in District 17 and all in Maine Area 28 for your support. Sincerely yours in service, Roy R. –Bridging the Gap Chair.

CPC Report: I am just getting started as the new CPC chair. We have been working with the Treatment Chair and PI chair to bring meetings to St. Mary’s Hospital in Lewiston. I have been working on guidelines for the CPC committee and hope to submit them to the Guidelines Committee at the next Area Committee meeting. I am looking forward to serving as the CPC Chair for the next session. Thank you. Carla M.

Grapevine Report: Thank you for allowing me to be the Maine Area Grapevine Chair. I have enjoyed the position just as I have enjoyed the Grapevine since picking up my first piece of AA literature, which just happened to be a Grapevine. There have been many changes but I am still moved by reading the stories in the Grapevine – Our Meeting in Print. EZ DUZ IT – Joe M.

Literature Report: I received my first request for assistance with literature from the Treatment Committee. I had 36 hours to get some literature for the commitment they had. I scoured the literature box and produced a packet of pertinent material. I understand it was a successful commitment. I am also selling the inventory of literature, at the old price because it is what it cost us, that is not service oriented. Finally I would like to thank Area 28 for allowing me to serve as Literature Chair for the last two years and I stand ready to turn the box over to the next Chair. Yours in service Jay M.

Love & Service Report: The committee has helped to sponsor more and more local workshops and gatherings, supporting them with seed money and assistance. Most important was Jean O’s presence as he often led workshops. His passion and special thrust of the committee work has brought the traditions and concepts to life. The committee took the responsibility of presenting workshops for GSR’s and DCM’s at Area Assemblies. This effort has been well received. Guidelines for the committee have been formed and turned out to be tremendously beneficial and energizing to the committee. I am hopeful that the momentum we have will continue into the next rotation. Yours in service, Peter L.

Public Information (PI) Report: We have addressed questions about dark districts that have come back but have someone who has been doing things his way, not necessarily the AA way. Our thought was to offer a way to do what he is doing better. There is also a new movement to expand and improve treatment at St. Mary’s Hospital, and our Area Treatment Chair and I went to Lewiston to meet with folks from District 5 about what the hospital wanted and what AA could and could not do for them. It was a very good discussion, centering on the difference between a Recovery meeting and an AA meeting. It is my hope that sometime soon the Area Treatment, PI, and CPC chairs will be able to return to St. Mary’s for another meeting to further our efforts to help the still suffering alcoholic. Yours in love and service, Stephen M.

Round- Up Chair Report: I would like to thank everyone who has supported the Maine Area Round-Up. Due to the state of the economy last year and the financial status after the 2008 Round-Up, the committee made a decision to raise registration by $3.00 to $25.00 for 2009. This generated $2100.00 more income this year which is part of the $2208.14 the Round-Up is turning over to the Area. T-shirt revenue increased from last year without increasing the price for the T-shirts.  Putting on the Maine Area Round-Up is a big job and responsibility but the rewards are equally great. Thank you for giving the Maine Area Round-Up committee the opportunity to provide services to the Maine Area. John D.
Alt. Round-Up Chair: I want to thank you with all my soul for the honor and privilege of serving as your Alternate Round-Up Chair. The critique sheets filled out after the Round-Up have been an immense help to the committee in finding ways to improve the Round-Up experience. There is a great history of 16 committees overseeing 32 Round-Ups. Each committee passes on the spirit and guidance that leads to more enjoyment of fellowship and fellowship that the Round-Up experience provides. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you have given us. There are so many good things that happen to each one of us on Sugarloaf Mountain that words cannot explain. May your journey be as satisfying as ours has been. Gary S.

Special Needs/ Remote Communities: The CSO referred a request for a signer in the Bangor area and that process has begun. It is important that districts with large cities consider at least preparing for possible future requests in their area. It really is about having the hand of AA there when anyone needs it. This disease is arrogant, selfish, self-centered and self-seeking to the extreme. What would you do if you were the one who couldn’t hear? Reading alone is not enough. We all know we need each other. We all do service in AA for the love of another alcoholic. Once again, I attended the District 4 Round-up. Our equipment was used there for translation, but we were still short at least six receivers throughout the weekend. My recommendation to the next Chair is to encourage getting more receivers. The more people find out about this service the more equipment will be requested during these events. There is a need. Thank you Area 28 for filling that need. Thank you for the opportunity to serve in this capacity. If your heart is tugging at you to do something for special needs because you like to assist people, please consider letting the Area Chair know of your availability for this position. May God bless you all. Sandy P.

Treatment Committee Report: The committee meetings have been well attended with a great deal of energy and interest. Along with the PI Chair, I was asked to assist District 5 in starting a meeting at St. Mary’s Hospital in Lewiston. This is an ongoing endeavor. Thanks for giving me the honor of being your Treatment Chair. Phil B. 

Al-Anon Liaison: I attended an Al-Anon Convention in August and was able to obtain a speaker for an AA workshop. I have just begun to figure out what to do in this position and I thank you for letting me serve the Area as the Al-Anon Liaison. Jean M.

CSO Liaison: It is an exciting time for CSO, however as with all exciting things there does come some sadness. Tyrone, CSO office manager of 18 years decided that it was time for him to move on. We thank him for all that he has done at CSO and his service to AA. He will be missed by many. Both hiring and steering committees are currently working to find a new office manager. In the meantime Peggy L. agreed to be the interim office manager until the position is filled. Thank you, Peggy for stepping up for this service. There are a few hotline shifts that are in need of coverage and we would love to see more Central Service Representatives from groups getting involved. Please feel free to call the office for more information. We have statewide meeting lists for sale for $1.00 per book.
        Down East Inter-Group covers Districts 3, 10, 11, 16, 21, 8, & 25. They have a literature fund with approximately $190.00 plus $200.00 in literature on hand. They produce meeting lists 3 to 4 times a year at no charge to the districts and groups they serve; they are self-supporting through group donations. Inter-group meets the 3rd Monday of every month at 6:30 to 7:30 pm in the Congregational Church on Rte. 1 in Ellsworth Falls. They look forward to having Inter-group Reps attend. For more information call Willie K., secretary, at 469-0953 or e-mail at downeast_intergroup@yahoo.com. Yours in loving service, Deborah M.

DISTRICT REPORTS

District 1: In January a special needs committee for the hearing impaired was begun. By June work was being done on getting a group of signers for meetings and progress is being made. Attendance and interest is up from last year. Our treatment committee puts on meetings at Serenity House, Spring Harbor, Milestone, and we have a new liaison to Mercy Hospital. Our corrections committee is covering Windham Prison (for both men & women), we are putting on meetings at Cumberland County Jail, Pre-release center, and Long Creek (for kids). We have a new chair for PI/CPC, Dave C., who will be working with Districts 24 & 26 on PI/CPC issues. We offer many thanks to the former chair, George O., who did a great job. We are working on District 1’s Alcathon. There will be fliers available soon look for them online and at meetings. We have had elections and Donna R. will be our new District 1 Chair. Jeff W.
District 4: Two weeks ago we had our round up, which went very well, with a special thanks to Paul L who brought the archives and Sandy P. who brought the translation equipment. We appreciated it. Thanks, also, to the Area members who came to share. For the first time our district is self-supporting for an assembly. We encourage the Area to continue to support districts that need help. Thank you. Anne-Marie B.
District 5: We have a corrections committee that carries 1 women’s and 3 men’s meetings into the Androscoggin Jail each week. Our treatment committee is rebuilding a relationship with St. Mary’s Hospital in order to carry the message of Alcoholics Anonymous into the detox and rehab. We have an active Bridging the Gap committee, a newsletter published monthly and are gathering information for the archives committee. We have an upcoming Gratitude Potluck on Nov. 19th. We held elections and all district offices and committee positions have been filled with enthusiastic, devoted alcoholics in harmonious action. It has been a privilege to serve as District chair this past term. Chris A.

District 6:  We had our elections and most positions were filled with the exception of secretary. Attendance has been good but we would like to see more folks. We recently held a workshop on service and sponsorship and are planning a Halloween dance as well as Christmas and New Years alcathons. Most groups are doing well but two groups are struggling. Corrections does several meetings at Two Bridges Jail and Bath’s Men’s meeting has commitments at Hearthside and Tedford Shelter. Shirley S. DCM 2
District 7: The district is financially sound and meetings are well attended. Our Spring Fling and picnic went well with many participating.  We had a love and service workshop and we would like to thank those who came and spoke. Our district has about 30 groups both in Maine and New Brunswick, Canada. We are getting ready to put on our Christmas party in Caribou. We take care of the RTF with a meeting every Saturday and Houlton takes care of the Aroostook County Jail. Four years ago our district was talking about shutting down; now we have a meeting once a month that is well attended. Richard C. the district chair could not attend the assembly but he is doing a good job. Jeff F. Alt.
District 8: Meetings have been growing and well attended. Summer is always interesting with many visitors. We had an awesome picnic in August and are looking forward to our New Years Eve Alcathon. Our district meetings usually consist of about half our GSRs and I have yet to discover the secret of getting many of them to appear at Area functions. Carla M., outgoing District Chair.
District 9: The district has just elected a full slate of officers and filled several key committee positions. Our groups are well represented and are participating in district meetings on a regular basis. It has been an honor to serve as District Chair for the last 3 years, and I am happy to know that there is a brand new group ready to carry on with service in our district. Jerry W.
District 10:  We have a new district secretary and treasurer. We are in the process of compiling a list of group registration numbers for our secretary to have and are helping a meeting become registered with GSO. We have had our 3rd annual BBQ with 22 people in attendance. We also held a love and service workshop with Peter L., Ann D., and Bob D. chairing it. As a result of the workshop we filled two district chair positions. We alternate our district meetings that are held on the 2nd Saturday of the month, between The American Legion in Lincoln and I Care Ministries in Millinocket. This  has gotten excellent participation with an average attendance of 80%. Lynn B.
District 13: Byron B., alt. Treasurer, put on a 7th tradition workshop for our district and Kathi D., Area Delegate put on “Service beyond the home group”. We are having a new alcathon location at the American Legion in Alfred right off Rte 202.  (Thanksgiving from 8am -9 pm, GSR Rose L. will be cooking a turkey; Christmas Eve 6pm – 9pm, plan on getting a tree; Christmas Day 8am – 6 pm; New Year’s Eve 6pm – 10 pm and New Year’s Day 8am – 6 pm). We are sorry to lose our step meeting in Kezar Falls to Denmark- District 17. Our active committees are PI/CPC, Bridging the Gap, and Corrections.
District 16: Over the last year, contributions coming into the district have been down, however we have been able to make our contributions to the CSO hotline, the Inter-group newsletter, Area 28, as well as, purchase literature to place within our district. We have a monthly commitment at the PARC Unit at Pen Bay Medical Center over in District 15. The Waldo County Jail is still converting to a Pre-Release Center and we will be active once again with AA meetings when the conversion is completed. We will be holding elections next month. It has been a privilege to serve. Bill P.
District 17: Our attendance at district meetings is good with 14 to 18 trusted servants attending. The call for volunteers in September and October to fill district positions for the next two years met with amazing success with all but 3 of our 14 positions being filled at this time. Our CSO liaison, Treatment, and Bridging the Gap positions are all actively involved. We carry the AA message to Crossroads for Women and have placed literature at the rehabilitation facility for youths (Summit Achievement) in Stowe. We held a love and service day on “District and Home Group Relationship” Turnout was about 55 AA’s. Gray Village Group has another love and service day planned for Sunday November 15th at St. Gregory’s Church in Gray – starting at 3 pm. We will discuss Chapter 5, How It Works. There will be a potluck supper at 4:30 pm and an AA speaker at 7 pm is planned. In addition to the many churches, schools, and other charitable organizations that graciously offer us a meeting place, daily AA meetings are held at the Clyde Bailey Center on Rte 302 in South Casco. We in District 17 feel truly blessed to have the support of so many friends of the AA Fellowship. Pete T. DCM 1
District 19:  There are 21 meetings available 7 days a week. Of these, two are closed discussion meetings. And one group holds meetings at 8am six days a week. We have one speaker meeting that does commitments and a beginners meeting. Our district has an active PI committee and Love and Service committee that is in the process of planning district functions and gatherings. We are a healthy district. William (Ted) G. incoming District Chair

District 21: Our district meetings are well attended and a majority of the district positions are filled. District activities have included: Hosting the Post Conference Forum, A District Inventory in June facilitated by Spencer R. Alt. Area Delegate, and Fellowship Day in August. Elections were held at the last district meeting with the new panel starting at the first of the year. It has been an honor to serve as District 21 Chair. Thomas M.
District 24: We are doing fantastic. We support two treatment facilities: Mercy Hospital in Westbrook and Milestone, located in Portland. Our Alcathons are in place and on track for the coming holiday season. At present we are in the early planning stages for a combined Love and Service Day in March with District 1.  We have active committees that work hand in hand with District 1, which is beneficial to all – PI/CPC, Treatment, and Corrections. We are focusing on increasing group participation within the district and broadening our communication with meetings. Our financial situation is solvent at this time but we are feeling the economic pinch with increased rents. We would like to thank George O. for his work on PI/CPC, Kathi D. –Area Delegate for speaking at our workshop on “unity” and Tyrone for his service and support. Jim B.
District 25:  Our district is active and self-supporting while we make contributions to CSO Hotline, Area, GSO, and Inter-Group on a regular basis and have a prudent reserve. We maintain a subscription to the Grapevine, Boomerang, and Beam. Our corrections committee takes meetings into the Washington County Jail and we have a very active Love and Service committee which is planning our 2nd  Alcathon for New Years Eve. We had a great fifth annual picnic and are helping the Machias Valley Group celebrate their 61st anniversary. The district has an awesome website that you should check out www.aa25 info. We have had elections and have filled some of the district positions. We hope to complete further elections in November. It has been an honor to serve as District 25 Chair. I plan to do service work at the Inter-group level when my term as District Chair is at an end. District 25 is only 4 years old but with the help and support of the Struggling District Fund and the Area Fellowship we are on our feet and a contributing member of the Area. Thank you. Ed G.
