Like any other A.A. service, the primary purpose of those
involved in archival work is to carry the message of
Alcoholics Anonymous. Archives service work is more than
mere custodial activity, it is the means by which we
collect, preserve and share the rich and meaningful heritage
of our fellowship. It is by the collection and sharing of
these important historical elements that our collective
gratitude for Alcoholics Anonymous is deepened.
Please
remember the District 1 Archives Committee is available
for displays at your Holiday or Anniversary Meetings.
Keep in mind these Archives belong to YOU
and to all of the members of Pinellas County AA.
When we bring the display, you have a wonderful
opportunity for learning the beginnings of AA and
teaching your newer members how we have grown.
We
are happy to give an
historical talk or just a display for free and for fun!
Archives Committee
is also looking for committee members. There
are several ways you can be of service, interviewing
long-timers, helping with displays, etc.
Please contact Central Office at (727) 530-0415 or
centraloffice@aapinellas.org if you
would like to volunteer or if your group would like an
archives display.

Public
Information / Cooperation with the
Professional Community (PI/CPC) Committee
Last Monday of each month
6:00 to 7:00 pm
Disston Park Church
4682 40th Avenue N.
(behind Biff-Burgers)
St. Petersburg
If you are interested in being a
part of this committee, please come join us at our monthly
meeting. Also suggest
your home group elect a "Public Information Representative"
and encourage them to get involved with us. You and your
group can be of real service to help us carry the message to
the alcoholic who does not know who we are, or that we even
exist.
Most groups realize that the alcoholic can't come to AA for
help unless they know where we are........
The committee communicates with professionals
in Health Care, Law enforcement, Treatment, Corrections,
Human Resources, Counseling, Sociology, Ministry, Education,
Communications, & Judicial Systems. It cooperates, without
affiliation, with those seeking to help the active
alcoholic. It provides support and resources to AA Members
seeking to educate Professionals with whom they have
contact.

Grapevine
Committee

2nd Monday of the month @ 6:00 PM
REBOS
6766 54th Ave N
St. Petersburg, FL
These meetings are not only for Intergroup Reps, but for anyone
interested in doing Grapevine service work. Sponsors, this is
great service work for both new and experienced sponsees!
We would like to encourage all
the AA groups in District 1 to consider having a Grapevine
meeting once a week or so. It's simple. Read a story from the
monthly magazine or a "Best of the Grapevine" - volumes 1, 2 or
3. Share how you can relate to it. It's a great way to spice up
a meeting and get different stories from all over the world.
They make good subject matter. All are informative, some are
tragic, and some are even funny. I've never been to a boring
Grapevine meeting.
Also, we need all the old
Grapevine magazines we can get. If they're around a treatment
center, someone will read it and possibly hit home with a story
they can relate to. Many of these places don't have the magazine
within their budget and an old one is better than nothing.
In love and service,
The District 1 Grapevine Committee
