Looking After Our History One Yesterday at a Time

It is amazing how time seems to fly by so quickly. I realize I haven't put anything on the blog since before the Fall 2008 Assembly! There is so much going on in all the pockets of the Area and we don't know the half of it. One exciting note is that at the last Area Committee meeting in January it was decided unanimously to support a proposal to bid on Area 83 hosting the 15th Annual AA National Archives Workshop in 2011 in Toronto. Since the proposal involved time and money, it will be a on the Spring 2009 Assembly agenda. Why so early? Well the 2009 NAW is being held in Woodland Hills, CA on the weekend of September 24-27. On the Sunday morning of the Workshop registered delegates attend the business meeting of the NAW. At the meeting decisions are made about the next locations - it is the practice to decide 2 years out. 2010 is in Macon, Georgia and 2011 will be according to group conscience and our bid will be there if Area 83 decides!
