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.

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.)

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.
