Registrar Report - October 2024

Greetings Area 41, I am Zach, an alcoholic and your Registrar.

I continue to work on resolving/reducing the number of groups listed as “unknown” across Area 41. What is an unknown group? It is a group that does not have a GSR or a mail contact listed in Fellowship Connection. I sent out an email to all the DCM's with a spreadsheet documenting all of the unknown groups. If you are a DCM and did not receive an email from me, that means either I did not get your email address entered correctly, or you had no unknown groups in your District. Feel free to verify whether or not you have unknown groups. You can do this yourself through Fellowship connection, or you can contact me. I am here to help assist you with this! I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to do so!!! Thank you to those that responded! Some of the unknown groups have been resolved. However, I have not heard from a significant number of the DCM's. I am going to start reaching out to you directly, probably by a phone call, to set up a time to talk or to meet virtually. Since the last Area meeting, I have been working with the Tech committee to add the forms for group changes and servant changes to the website. They are up and running. So far I have received no complaints. Please use this resource, and provide feedback if you think they can be improved. Your assistance in making this a good experience would be greatly appreciated. I will still accept forms in the paper version. I want your information. The how is not as important as getting it to me.

Along with getting the forms on the website I have also been given an Area 41 email address to use. [Registrar Page/Contact Form] Please start using this email to correspond with me. I will continue to check my personal email and respond as needed. I am also available via text or phone call. For clarification: changes to meeting times and dates need to be submitted to the webmaster - if you want it updated in the meeting guide app and on the website. Changes to locations need to be submitted to both the webmaster and the Registrar. New group information needs to be submitted to both the registrar and the webmaster. Changes to the trusted servants need to be submitted to the Registrar. Thank you to all who have provided information. Your efforts are not only appreciated but critical to keeping our information up to date to help serve the still suffering alcoholic. As always, I am available to help. Please reach out to me. Thank you for the opportunity to serve.

Yours in service, Zach I., Area 41 Registrar
