The Greater Hollywood Area Service Committee will be hosting a CAR workshop:

Monday, Feb 13, 2012, 7:30pm
333 S. Central Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90013

The Conference Agenda Report (CAR) is published every two years by NA World Services and contains material for all groups to discuss and give their conscience on. This year’s CAR contains a new recovery text (“Living Clean”) as well as discussions related to the possibility of major changes to NA’s service structure, so it is vitally important that all groups are informed about the issues at hand and can give an educated group conscience to the ASC. The collective conscience of the groups as represented at the ASC then goes to the Regional Service Committee, and our Regional Delegate brings the collective conscience to the World Service Conference and votes on our behalf. The fellowship ought to be as informed as possible when voting on matters affecting NA as a whole. We encourage all interested members to attend this workshop.

All Saturday meetings are going to be open on Unity Day.
