Greetings and Happy New Years,
A Summary of the WB’s Service System Discussions(81k pdf)
The following is an update of information and events. WSZF *WSZF is Feb 4th-6th in -0- degree weather. Our internet web group emails have been quite busy and intense discussing which topics are the “headliners” so Nila and I anticipate a long weekend ahead of us hiding from the snow.
NAWS 2009 to 2010 Annual Report *This year’s Annual report was mailed to conference participants and RSCs. I will bring a copy to the February RSC meeting. It is also posted online here: Annual report
WCNA *WCNA postcards were included in the same mailing (which I will also bring to the RSC meeting) and can also be ordered from customer service or downloaded from the convention webpage: WCNA postcard. Please help us to get these distributed. They have contacted the events on the NAWS calendar to ask if they are willing to distribute these also. *The selected volunteers to participate in the local Host Committee for the WCNA have been email notifed this week of their being selected and asked if still interested. We should know within a week of those confirmed.
Service System
*The World Board and Service System Workgroup met jointly to discuss input on the project and talk about revisions to the proposals. We are working on that revision now and should have it posted by March. In the meantime, we are attaching an update that explains what changes you can expect to see. You can also download the same update from the project website: Update
USSC (United States Fellowship Assembly) *World has received a number of inquiries about a United States fellowship assembly or USSC. There may be perceptions that this is either a part of the Service System Project or in response to it, but this is not the case. We are three years into the Service System Project and have only seen the same emails that most of you have. Since this event is not being coordinated by any duly elected representative or registered area, region, or zone the World is not really comfortable commenting. There are issues that are raised in their material about NAWS and those questions World is happy to respond to. A United States conference is not an idea that World believes will help us better achieve our primary purpose or they would have included it in the Service System proposals. As always, World is open to your concerns, ideas, and comments.
