[Businessmtg] GR

[Alison G]

Hello Pals.

I was GR for a f2f group long ago.
We did a variety of actions, including listed below, from Steve, (ty Steve,)

I am curious if it will be that the GR, here, if voted in, would also
attend literal assemblies, working side by side with humans, in person
(once Covid flies away....buh bye already!) and is an "in person" GR as
well as a virtual one.
Yes. We are virtual.
But imo, could it be possible that if we get a GR on ASP, it would be
beneficial for said service person to also go to an assembly here and
there, meeting f2f delegates, getting to be a part of that world too?

Also, as a f2f GR for a year, I went to the weekly biz mtg, and then took
back to the group itself any news, old or new. Short, succinct, and
brought  the so called "outside bigger Al-Anon world"
to everyone who was a member. I feel that is something that might be
beneficial for our members here too.
I feel that many, including me in the start, don't understand or know about
the worldwide enormous-ness that Al-Anon extends to. and It might be a
benefit for the GR, once a month, after a month's worth of business meeting
information and goings-on, to send one email to the ASP recover-ers about
the bigger picture of what Al-Anon does.
  I am not eloquent right now. Hope this makes a lick of sense.


BUT, I do vote for YES on all fronts for ASP getting a GR, on the SC, and
attending all Biz meetings, as well as having a voice when necessary on the
Recovery side of ASP.

TY,
Alison
