Message from the outgoing Bottom Line Coordinator, Jan. 2008
Dear friends,
As it is January 2008, my service committment as DA Bottom Line Coordinator comes to an end. I am incredibly grateful to have served these 2 years. The gifts are uncountable, my recovery and solvency have been strengthened and clarified. Each time I thought my schedule was too busy to fit the Bottom Line, I returned to my own work more refreshed. & The joy of opening up an email with a new story submission is pure gold.
This is an invitation for you to take it on, be the next Bottom Line Coordinator for NY Intergroup. Keep DA's oldest publication going strong.
peace & prosperity,
Gretchen A.
The Bottom Line is
a collection of recovery stories written by D.A. members. It is available here (some issues can be viewed online,
others can only be downloaded to your computer as a PDF file)
or at some D.A. meetings as a printed version that can be purchased
for $1 at the literature table.
If you do not have a literature person at your meeting and want
to distribute the Bottom Line, please feel free to make copies
of it and charge only for the cost of the copying.
You are encouraged
to contribute your own story, please consult the submissions guidelines
(pdf version). Also,
we encourage you to bring the submissions guidelines to your
meeting, in order to inform those who may not have internet
access.
Submissions may be
sent electronically to: bottomline@danyc.info, or by mail to:
Bottom Line, 420 Wyncoop Ct., Holland, PA 18966
The Bottom Line Needs Reporters
The Bottom Line is looking for reporters. I would like to find anyone who is interested in taking notes for the Bottom Line, at NY events like the PRG workshop, the Old-timers workshop, and Share-A-Day, etc. This will greatly expand our coverage of NY events.
Some ideas for note taking can include:
1. Names of the presenters
2. Title of their workshops
3. Notes on speakers & group feedback, if possible
4. Quotes of DA wisdom gleaned from workshop participants
5. Workshop handout materials
All or part of this along with personal DA thoughts of the workshop would be wonderfully welcome by the Bottom Line. & Would give us the chance to share some of the wisdom from NY workshops with those who missed them. One person need not cover the whole event, just one meeting. Thanks.
Email bottomline@danyc.info with any questions.
