AA in Greensboro, NC
District 23 of General Service Area 51 of Alcoholics Anonymous – Serving Greensboro and Surrounding Areas in Guilford County, North Carolina
24-HOUR HOTLINE: 336.854.4278
Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety. Copyright © by the AA Grapevine, Inc.; reprinted with permission.

Upcoming N.C.C.Y.P.A. Events
Hello –
I’m writing to let you know about several upcoming events for the North Carolina Conference of Young People in Alcoholics Anonymous.
The Wilmington Host Committee is putting on the 4th annual Beach Blast this weekend at Freeman Park in Carolina Beach. The dates are May 17-20 and price of admission includes dinner, coffee and the amazing opportunity to camp on the beach. Of course, there will be meetings and fellowship on the beach too! You can come for the whole weekend for $15 or purchase a day pass for $30.
The second event is the annual campout hosted by the N.C.C.Y.P.A.A. Advisory Council. This is a weekend-long event in Fort Hamby Park in Wilkesboro, NC, June 28 through July 1. There will be campfire meetings, food, fellowship and the option to go lazy river tubing for an extra fee. Cost to attend is only $20 if you register by June 20. The registration fee after June 20 is $30.
The last event I want to share with you is the 16th Annual N.C.C.Y.P.A.A. Conference which takes place at the Hilton in downtown Wilmington, September 6-9. Fantastic speakers from across the country have already been selected and it’s going to be beautiful weekend to visit Wilmington. Early registration fee is $20 if you register before August 6.
You can find full details about these events on the links below. We hope you will come join us at any or all of these!

District Committee Meeting THURSDAY
The next District Committee Meeting (GSR Meeting) is at St. Andrews Episcopal Church (2105 West Market Street →) THURSDAY at 06:30 PM. GSRs, please be sure to represent your group at this meeting. If your group doesn’t have a General Service Representative, please hold a group business meeting to elect one.
General service representative (G.S.R.):
Working via the district and area committees, the G.S.R. is the group’s link with the General Service Conference, through which U.S. and Canadian groups share their experience and voice A.A.’s collective conscience. Sometimes called “the guardians of the Traditions,” G.S.R.s become familiar with A.A.’s Third Legacy— our spiritual responsibility to give service freely. Usually elected to serve two-year terms, they:
• Represent the group at district meetings and area assemblies.
• Keep group members informed about general service activities in their local areas.
• Receive and share with their groups all mail from the General Service Office, including the newsletter Box 4-5-9, which is G.S.O.’s primary tool for communicating with the Fellowship.G.S.R.s also may assist their groups in solving a variety of problems, especially those related to the Traditions. In serving their groups, they can draw on all the services offered by G.S.O. (see p. 30).
An alternate G.S.R. is elected at the same time in the event that the G.S.R. may be unable to attend all district and area meetings. Alternate G.S.R.s should be encouraged to share the responsibilities of the G.S.R. at the group, district and area levels. (See The A.A. Service Manual, Chapter 2, “The Group and its G.S.R.,” for further information.)
(excerpted from “The A.A. Group …Where It All Begins” PDF)
District meetings are held only once per month and only last an hour. We need all groups to be represented at these meetings. All AA members are welcome and encouraged to attend these meetings.
