A Word From Our Co-District Committee Members

Hello District 2,

We are glad to announce the creation of a District 2 website for the dissemination of information to all groups and members of Colorado AA District 2 here in Mesa County. The intent of this website is to provide a central location for all documents and information received from the General Service Office of Alcoholics Anonymous (GSO), Area 10 in Colorado, as well as District 2. The Co-District Committee Members’s (DCMs) and Alternate Co-DCM, along with the website committee will manage this website and its security for all documents and content stored on it. This has been a 2-year process, and we hope this becomes a valuable tool for our GSR’s and DCM’s to utilize and efficiently improve time management.

The Group Service Representatives (GSRs), the DCMs and officers of District 2 are a vital link between each member of AA and its national governing body (GSO). Please talk with your service sponsor and consider getting involved. Without a GSR, your group’s voice will go unheard.

Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions or concerns.

In Service, the Co and Alt – DCMs of Colorado AA District 2

Co-District Committee Members

In District 2, we have C0-District Committee Members whose job it is to facilitate our District 2 Committee meetings and support our GSRs in representing their group’s conscience.

Here is a summary of October’s meeting:

We did not meet our quorum for today’s meeting. So no elections or votes were taken. We did have some great discussion though. As a reminder, our next District meeting will be held on November 9. We decided (at our September meeting) that the date should be modified due to the Winter Assembly. Since we were unable to conduct normal business today, we also discussed having an additional District meeting on December 14.

Items that we discussed today include how we can stay in line with the 7th Tradition while still increasing contributions to the District. Questions to consider:

Should we consider limiting individual contributions that are made directly to the District?

Should we consider changing banks to enable the District to use QR codes for contributions? Our current bank will not allow us to use Zelle for a business account. So Craig will create a temporary Venmo account and QR code to enable electronic contributions to be made at the Gratititude dinner.

We also discussed how the 7th Tradition affects our ability to hold fund raisers as a District.

We discussed how GSRs and other District members can effectively talk about money with their groups. This discussion topic will be revisited in the January 2026 meeting, so bring thoughts and ideas to help encourage these difficult discussions.

Christina H is officially rotating out of her Co-DCM position. We asked her to attend our November meeting in hopes of voting her into a position as our Third Legacy Chairperson.

Archives would like GSRs to send their group conscience agendas and minutes to her at jetact1@yahoo.com

Tickets for the Gratitude Dinner can be purchased for $5. The dinner is on November 8. Doors open at 4:30pm and dinner will begin at 5pm. Craig and Bill M. will be representing the District and asking for contributions to be shared. A basked will be passed.

Colordaze was a great success and Central Office received more donations than at any Colordaze event in the past. It will be held in Rifle again next year, with the date TBD.

Central Office would like permission to begin selling the following non-Conference approved books: Drop the Rock, Ripple Effect, New Pair of Glasses and More to Quitting Drinking Than Just Quitting Drinking.

Patrick was told that the District 2 website is live, but it is still not searchable. So he will follow up on this. If anyone would like to access the website, they must use the direct web address: aa-coloradodistrict2.org. We are also requesting that all committee reports be sent to the district email: districtmembers@aa-coloradodistrict2.org. The District meeting summaries, agendas and reports are available on our website.

I am also attaching a copy of the Winter Assembly flyer, the draft Winter Assembly agenda, the preliminary budget for 2026 and a flyer for the 2026 State Convention

In service and gratitude,

G.S.R.’s importance.”
