Greetings from New York MA - District 8 !

On behalf of MA Convention 2011, we'd like to extend this request for your service at the meetings you attend. Simply print out this email (as many copies as the meetings you attend) and can make the MA-related announcements.  The script is below. THANK YOU FOR SPREADING THE WORD!

(I also attached some docs that you may want to print for those who want more info BUT do not have access to internet.  Docs:  Save the Date Flier, Registration Form, Raffle Flier, Workshop/Mtg Topic Submission, Convention Service Flier, and Monthly Pledge Letter.)

The basic idea can be conveyed by asking folks to Google "MA District 8" or "MA New York" to get all the info on MA Convention 2011.

But if you can make the official announcement, thank you for your service!  Here's the script:

"District 8 (NY and Philly area) is hosting MA Convention 2011 Feb 18-20, 2011.
Register now for $45, $55 as of December, or $60 on the day of the event.  Go online or look for registration form in November's A New Leaf, too.

Raffle tickets are available. $15 per ticket supports the convention's fund raising efforts. 3rd prize is a free convention registration.  2nd prize is free registration and banquet. 1st prize is the complete package: free registration, free banquet, AND free hotel stay Fri & Sat night!  Winners will be drawn at District 8's Holiday Party on December 11th.  October's A New Leaf has a ticket you can mail in, too.

Volunteer or nominate someone to speak at the convention. Send your recommendations (testimonials help too) to 2011convention@ma-newyork.org .  Voting by District 8 will take place on Dec 3rd.

You can also volunteer to do service during the convention. Email 2011convention@ma-newyork.org to volunteer.

Submit ideas for convention workshops or meeting topics by emailing 2011convention@ma-newyork.org to request a workshop submission. Deadline is January 10th.

More details on the above, how to get there, as well as finding out how to pledge a one-time or monthly dollar contribution to support the convention's fund raising efforts can be found on ma-newyork.org, BUT you can simply Google "MA District 8" or "MA New York" and you'll find the site with all of this information.

On behalf of Convention Chair, Colleen, and District 8, thank you!

Greetings fellows,


First, thank you, thank you, thank you to District 8 for an unbelievably successful and remarkable MA Annual Convention! You folks did an amazing job and – as with all MA – I owe you personal thanks for making me a healthier person. It was an incredible weekend and the fellowship thanks you.


Second, attached is the Conference Agenda Packet for the upcoming MAWS Conference 2011 at Loyola Marymount College in Westchester, CA. This document was released this weekend and is now being distributed to the Conference Yahoo! group as well as other MA, online venues.


Delegates, please service sponsor your new delegates as you work through the gathering of group conscience. Please note that the last 8 pages represent a “Group Conscience Template” that can be used at the individual meeting level as well as the District level as a tool for your delegates and GSR’s to gather the fellowship’s thoughts.


For those of you at independent meetings and districts yet to be affiliated, please know that the Trustees – and specifically the MAWS Outreach Trustee: Wes D – are your conduit for representation at the Conference.


If you have any questions about this document or any of the material within, please don’t hesitate to reach out.


Yours in service,


Duncan M
