Woohooo! GSC business is completed! We did well for AA. We got through with committee reports, conference inventory and floor motions! All of us panel 62 delegates said our fair wells and Ward said his thank yous. It’s been a great conference and I’m excited to share my experience with you. Took mom to dinner with most of the delegates from the Region and we had a lot of laughs and good food. Tomorrow is a shorter day, brunch and fair wells by the rotating trustees including Ward.

What a long day! Finished at 9:45 pm. All committee reports except two are done. There a four floor motions also. Last of the business tomorrow will be inventory questions. I can’t give results of the committee reports until the end of the conference. Had ice cream with th Pacific Region Delegates at Stardust. Cool place , had a banana split! Feeling fat and a little tired. One and a half more days to go!

Long day today! We started at 8:30 AM, ended about 10:00 PM. We began our day with the GSC inventory by committee. We had a good committee meeting and great input. Thank you for the help of our past delegates! More area highlights including the Pacific Region. We observed the election of two regional trustees and I participated in the election of the Trustee at large, U.S. We had a World Services meeting report and the committee reports began. I was the lucky one to report first! All went very well. We got through Corrections, Policy and Admissions, and part way through Public Information. I signed for a draft pamphlet on spirituality and have read that over. I left out that st lunch, we also voted on PRAASA to go to Sacramento in 2017 and the Regional Forum in 2016 to be in Hawaii. I’m sad to report that our candidate for Trustee at large did not get elected. Almost midnight here now, time to get some much needed rest!

Greetings! Had a great day today! Finished our committee meeting on Tim, all of the agenda items were completed and we added an additional consideration. I was so blessed with a great committee! Then we had more delegate highlights. The trip to GSO was pretty good too. They had snacks and I made it up to the Grapevine/ La VINA office. That office is really crowded and hot! Tonight we had a delegates only dinner and elected the new delegate chair for the 2014 GSC. Had to do homework due to the loss of my IPad to prepare for tomorrow’s inventory. All is well and I have the deepest gratitude for our Area.

Wow! What a day! Started my day with the Finance committee, nothing but a great experience! My committee is the bomb! We did really well. We had Trustee reports. New delegate area highlights, discussions of the reports and a “what’s on your mind” session. I only went to the microphone once to stop discussion (point of order) concerning something on my committee agenda. For those of you interested, my mom is having a great time! Good food today and wonderful fellowship. Until tomorrow, love you all! Jeff

Official opening of the conference! Roll call this morning was cool, but different than last year. I was much more relaxed. Still, it was awesome! We had a few presentations and the “rules of engagement”. LOL. Today also marked up the committee meeting with the Trustees committee. Got some great information including the financial impact of the “plan”. The banquet tonight was good followed by AA speakers. I enjoyed their sharing, they even made Mom cry! This is such a wonderful experience. Y’all take good care!

Good evening! Busy day today. We started with a bus tour of the historical AA sites in New York city. Towns hospital, Calgary church, Bills’ old home, etc. We got back around 1 PM. Took my mom to lunch, then came back for the meet and greet the new delegates in the hospitality rooms. I wondered if I looked like they did last year! Great bunch of new delegates! Next was the 1728 meeting with the trustees followed by the Remote Community meeting. Took mom to supper at Applebee’s, nothing spectacular. Then I attended the Delegates only meeting. Good meeting and presentations. Actually discussed allowing electronic cigarettes during conference! We said no to that! Went for pie with the delegate from Wyoming, just hated that! LOL! Time for bed, tomorrow is the kickoff, registration at 9 AM.

Greetings! Had a great day today! First in the agenda was to get the wrinkles out of my suits and shirts. I brought a hand steamer and it worked well. Went to GSO via the subway for the Friday meeting. The room was packed with folks from all over the U.S. and there were a few delegates there. A large contingent of people from Pennsylvania were also there. We had brought a wet drunk all the way with us, but that didn’t turn out to well. He intimated that he might have an explosive device in his back pack, so we sent him to St. Lukes detox. My mother arrived safely and I took her dinner and a walking tour of Time Square. Many delegates have arrived and I am happy to see them all. Thanks Area 93!

Through flight cancellations, airline charges and different airport arrivals, I made it to New York. Left my IPad on the plane though, waiting for a call back from the airlines. Had a bite to eat with Chase B. from Oregon and sharing a room with him for the night. All is well, looking forward to some sleep! Thanks Area 92! I’ll report tomorrow with new information. Hotel room is on the 35th floor!
