Hello Area 57!

I want to thank you again for allowing me to serve as your Area 57/Panel 73 Delegate. This is my first
year and our journey has just begun. I say OUR journey because I am YOUR Delegate! I am responsible
to each and every member of Alcoholics Anonymous in the state of Oklahoma, always remember that I
work for you!

First, it’s that time of the year again for us to prepare for the 73rd General Service Conference in New
York City, April 22nd -29th. I want to be well-informed when I represent our Area, and to do that I will
need your help! At our next Area meeting on April 2nd, we will have a “MOCK Conference!” The Final
Agenda Items for the upcoming 73rd GSC will be in the password-protected part of this page. The
“Background Material” for these agenda items will be ready in mid-February and will be posted in the
password-protected portion as well. If you do not have the password, please send me, or our Area
Secretary, an email at delegate@aaoklahoma.org or secretary@aaoklahoma.org either of us will be glad
to share the password with any AA member.

When I return from the GSC, I will quickly prepare my first Delegate’s report for the Oklahoma State
Conference! The Conference will be held in OKC on May 19th – 21st at the Embassy Suites, OKC NW.
You can register online at www.aaoklahoma.org. I hope to see you all there, especially at the Delegate’s
Report so you will know what direction AA is taking! Also, we will be having the General Service Office
Manager Bob W. speak at our State Conference; he will be readily available to answer any questions you
may have. He is a great wealth of information!

If you have any questions, concerns, or comments, please feel free to reach out to me at
delegate@aaoklahoma.org.

I look forward to seeing you all soon!

In Love and Service,

Ryan F.
