Al-Anon Family Groups of Missouri December 2016
Alternate Delegate’s Report
Greetings Missouri AFG,
I can’t hardly believe I am writing
my last Round Robin article as the
Missouri Area Alternate Delegate.
It’s been my honor and privilege to serve in this role
the last three years. I have thoroughly enjoyed
providing training to Group Representatives and
District Representatives. I have loved watching the
District and Group Representatives build
community and continuity with each other.
At the recent Assembly, I shared information
regarding our participation in the Missouri State AA
Convention. Sue K., Panel 57 Alternate Delegate,
and I will work closely resolving these concerns and
will keep all members informed during the process.
I would like to personally thank all members who
selflessly served the Missouri Area during Panel 54.
It’s been awesome to getting to know each of you a
little bit better.
We are coming to the end of Panel 54 and will
have to say good-bye to some. We will also welcome
new trusted servants to the Missouri Area as they
begin their journey in AFG Service. My journey will
continue as well. I was elected the Panel 57
Delegate at the November Assembly. I am honored
and humbled to have the opportunity to represent
the Missouri Area at the World Service Conference.
I have created a new email where I can be reached:
*********************************.
I will be passing on my current email,
********************** to Sue K. at the end of
November. I would also like to send a special thank
you to the Panel 54 Missouri Officers. I’ve had a
blast working with each of you. I’ve learned some
very special skills from each of these ladies that I
will be able to carry with me and use in the future.
Thank you for the opportunity to be of service. This
a gift that I will always cherish. I am looking
forward to serving you as the Missouri Area Delegate
in Panel 57.
What we believe, we can achieve!
Love in Service,
Sarah S.
Panel 54 Missouri Area Alternate Delegate
Chairperson’s Report Good morning, Missouri Al-Anon.
What a great Election Assembly we
had! It was so nice to have so many
individuals step up to service and
continue to guide this wonderful
Fellowship in Missouri. I am so proud of our new
incoming Officers: Sarah S., Sue K., Lynn C.-R.,
Karen C., and Lori H. I am confident that they will
serve us well. It has been a joy working for them
these last years and I am so looking forward to see
what new ideas they have in store for us.
I have not finished reviewing the evaluations from
Assembly. I will continue to do that this week and
hope to share them with the current Panel of
Officers by next week. I will compile some of the
comments and ask Kathy G to post them on the web
site so be keeping an eye out for that.
Once I have finished with the evaluations I will
begin, with the help of the incoming Coordinators, to
look at the Alternate Coordinator positions. I
received a lot of forms showing interest in those
positions and I am so grateful that so many folks are
willing to slide into service. If you are interested but
did not have the opportunity to fill out a form,
please email me or call me with position you are
interested in and we’ll see what we can do.
There is still so much to do this Panel. I will be
working with Lynn over the course of the next 2
months and pass along to her the materials that I
have compiled over the last 3 years. I am looking
forward to having Lynn lead us into a stronger Area
than we already are.
At the beginning of 2017 I will take over the post
of Area Literature Depot Coordinator from Dora. I’m
looking forward to a change in responsibility and
learning even more about our literature. I know
that Dora has done a fabulous job for us over the
past years. I hope I can do the same. I’m also
looking forward to working closely with Sue B., our
new Area Forum/Literature Coordinator. I have
created a new email account for those who are
interested in placing orders AFTER THE FIRST OF
(Continued on page 2, Chairperson’s Report)

UNITY * SHARING * GROWTH * UNDERSTANDING * HOPE * FRIENDSHIP * SERVICE
THE YEAR. Once my term has started, please use
****************************** to place your orders or
contact me about literature orders. Until the 1st of
the year, please continue to contact Dora for your
literature needs.
Again, congratulations to the new Panel of Officers,
Coordinators and those still un-named Alternate
Coordinators. I look forward to seeing what we can
accomplish the next three years.
Lastly, I am so proud of what you have achieved
these last three years. The fellowship, the hard work
and the celebrations have been fabulous and I
couldn’t be more proud of what you have
accomplished. It has been my pleasure and privilege
to serve you. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I have.
I couldn’t have asked for a better Area. Also, all my
best to our out-going Delegate, Karen L., as she leaves
Missouri. We will miss you Karen. Take care and
keep in touch.
Yours in Service,
Mary L.
Missouri Area 31 Panel 54 Chair

Regional Trustee Update Out of respect for all Missouri members I requested
the following be included in this edition of the
newsletter. I received the following from the WSO on
October 27. I’ve waited to make the announcement
as I didn’t want this topic to be a distraction to
elections.
Passing it on,
Donna E.H. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Dear Donna,
On behalf of the World Service Office Nominating
Committee and the US South Central Regional
Committee on Trustees, thank you for allowing your
name to stand in nomination for Regional Trustee.
After extensive review by both Committees, no
candidate has been named for consideration by the
Board of Trustees at its January meeting.
We hope that you will allow your name to stand in

Al-Anon Members Involved in Alateen Service (AMIAS) Experiences
The Teens teach me so much!
This is my first year at CBAT- the Missouri Alateen
Conference. I came from Oklahoma with another
sponsor and three teens. At least I’m not here on
my own as a first-timer. As with other times in my
recovery journey, it’s good to know I’m not alone.
We had a couple of adventures on our way here-
my term for “wrong turns”. In my life earlier life
these were often mistakes or much worse; now it’s a
time to see something I would have otherwise
missed-like the lovely lake we got to see yesterday.
It was good to be in a car filled with people of the
same mind- no harsh words or even irritated sighs,
just looking to see what might be around the next
corner or over the next hill.
I’ve not been an Alateen sponsor for long; just a
few years. The teens teach me so much when I keep
an open mind and an open heart. I am grateful for
the opportunity to be here and see what lies around
the next corner or over the next hill, in my journey
of recovery as well as theirs.

Alateen Sponsor

On Being an AMIAS
I originally became an AMIAS to help grow in my
own recovery. I had been in Al-Anon for two years
and wanted to get closer to my daughter. I figured
being part of Alateen would help. I realized that
giving back to the program was more important than
anything else. I attended my first event with the
teens and it was an eye-opening experience.
Grumpy teenagers in the morning turned into loving
teenagers by the end of the day. They are human
just like me. I heard my first Alateen speaker at my
first Alateen event and it changed my perspective.
The raw honesty about life and feelings made me
realize how much the teens do understand and that
they do have so much courage. They are more
honest and open than I have ever been and I could
learn something from them. They have compassion
for others that I have lacked. They show
unconditional love that I have not. I realized how
much I can learn from these teens. I remember how
much I can be of service by being an AMIAS and
helping get them to these events. These teens are
our future. Being an AMIAS is the best way to give
back to Al-Anon and carry the message of courage,
strength and hope.

Area Alateen Process Person (AAPP) Greetings!
Here we are with the last article for this panel!
Not only are we in a time of transition, tying up the
loose ends with our current positions, we are
preparing to move forward with the responsibilities
of our new positions. Then, of course, we get to look
forward to the holidays. My son who lives in
California and his family are coming for
Thanksgiving. I am excited and looking forward to
it. I hope you are also able to look forward to the
holidays with joy.
At Assembly, it was decided that all future Al-Anon
Members Involved In Alateen Service (AMIAS}
candidates and all renewing AMIAS will need to
submit a copy of their background report from the
Missouri Family Care Safety Registry (FCSR) (or
provide the AAPP with their Social Security number
so the AAPP can get it directly from the FCSR.)
The website address to download the form to have
the initial background check done is:
http://health.mo.gov/safety/fcsr/forms.php .
(Continued on page 6, AAPP)
Alateens Share
Page 6 Missouri Round Robin December 2016
UNITY * SHARING * GROWTH * UNDERSTANDING * HOPE * FRIENDSHIP * SERVICE
When you go to that site, there are two versions
of the form. One is a pdf that you can download,
print out, and fill out by hand. The other is a
WORD file that you can fill out on your computer
then print out and sign. The cost is $13.00 using
either of these methods.
If you choose to submit the form on-line, the
cost is $14.25, but that option is also available
on the FCSR site. Either way, you will need to
provide them with your social security number.
Until the end of the year, you will then send the
copy of your background check with your AMIAS
application and the WSO form (both available on
the Missouri Area website) to me. Beginning
January 1, 2017, those forms should be sent to
Janet W., the newly elected Area Alateen Process
Person.
Thank you for the privilege of serving Missouri
Alateens during Panel 54. It is an experience I
have cherished.

Step Twelve
Having had a spiritual awakening as the result
of these steps, we tried to carry this message to
others, and to practice these principles
in all our affairs.
Tradition Twelve
Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of
all our Traditions, ever reminding us to
place principles above personalities.
Concept Twelve
The spiritual foundation for Al-Anon’s world
services is contained in the General Warranties
of the Conference, Article 12 of the Charter. "Reprinted with permission of Al-Anon Family Group Headquarters, Inc.”
Al-Anon’s Three Legacies of the Month
Tidbits from Al-Anon Literature For group problems, as well as for our individual
ones, we use that helpful phrase in the Twelfth
Tradition which ends: “ever reminding us to place
principles above personalities.”

Literature Depot Coordinator I have reported before that sales have been slower
this year, so once again I will report the figures.
These figures go back to when I took over this
position.
8/27/13 to 10/31/16 gross profit 1,028.97
1/02/16 to 10/31/16 gross profit 4,884.40
11/10/12 to 10/31/16 gross profit 23,234.55
All of you, your groups and public outreach, have
done a great job getting the Al-Anon message out.
Thank you so much.
I was asked at Convention about changes to a
piece of Alateen literature that I knew nothing
about. It is my duty in my position to know these
things. So I looked for the answer. The answer is
that there are no changes to B-3 Alateen Hope for
Children of Alcoholics. I am thankful for the
question and glad I could answer it before my term
is up. It has been fun to work in this position.
Thank you,

Speaker Coordinator As hard as it is to believe, Panel 54 is nearly at an
end. I am grateful to have had the honor to serve our
Area as your Speaker Coordinator through this panel.
Our speakers at the Area Convention this year seem
to have been a big hit for the most part. There were
some people who felt they had to sit too long on
Saturday night but many comments I heard were that
people felt they could have listened to Nancy and Mary
all night. People loved the speakers on Friday night
and Sunday morning too. I am so grateful we were
able to have them all there to share their experience,
strength and hope.
I reported to you at the last Area Assembly that we
were up to 58 CDs in our library. Well as I write this
and have the CD library ready to turn over to a new
Speaker Coordinator we are up to 79 CDs! It just
keeps growing and I am very happy to see it do so.
I realize my term is not over until the New Year, but
my job is one where the CDs need to be turned over
when a new Coordinator is elected, as it is important
for the new Convention Committee to have access to
them to begin the process of looking for speakers for
the next convention. My experience has been that the
sooner you can book your speakers the better because
their date books fill up quickly.
It is also important to have backup speakers ready
because you never know when you will need one or
more. I learned this many years ago when my service
sponsor was going to speak at a function and on her
way she fell and broke her leg and was actually in the
hospital when she was supposed to have spoken.
Luckily they were able to find someone to take her
place at the last minute because they had planned
ahead for such an emergency.
I want to thank my Alternate Speaker Coordinator for
always being there and being willing to help not only
me, but anyone and anywhere someone needed help
this last three years. I also want to thank the handful
of Area members who felt so strongly that we should
take advantage of the opportunity to have Mary R.
come and speak. They anonymously donated to help
make that happen so that the Area would not incur the
expenses. To me, that is Al-Anon at it's best! Thank
you to Marilynn for all of her hard work this Panel, and
to the convention and speaker committees too. Thank
you to the Area officers who helped out in so many
ways, and to our Past Delegates and Past Trustees for
sharing their experience, strength and hope with me.
A list of the CDs in the library as of today follows and
is available to anyone who wants to email me with a
request.
It has been such a joy to be your trusted servant this
Panel.
Respectfully submitted,
Sandi M.

Convention Coordinator Report The elections are over and we need to welcome
Melanie E. as our incoming Convention Coordinator.
She is just finishing her term as District 4
Representative. Welcome Melanie!
In the last Round Robin I mentioned some of the
statistics from 2016 Convention. We appear to be in
the black thanks to your support. I will ask Diane if
she can share the specific categories in the Round
Robin since she is the keeper of the details. Before I
turned in a request for reimbursement before
Assembly, our income had been $8,681.00. Our
expenses were $7,303.92. If there are any folks who
have not turned in reimbursable expenses for the
convention, please do so by the end of the year. At
the March AWSC we will probably act on the
procedural guidelines to donate half of our profit to
WSO and keep half to our treasury.
The chosen theme for the 2017 Convention is
‘Getting your “kicks” while celebrating “66”! Having
fun in recovery.’ Now it is up to all of us to think of
workshops, mini-meetings, skits, songs, gift basket
themes, decorations and much more to present at the
convention. I am sure that Melanie will gladly accept
your help on the committee. Be looking for her article
in the January issue with her contact information.
Let’s have another successful convention in 2017.
The next Area meeting to remember is the March
Area World Service Committee (AWSC) meeting to be
held in Jefferson City on March 11, 2017. Be
watching for more information.
I would like to remind all who want to donate to the
Step Eleven fundraiser to please do so even after the
deadline. The Missouri Alateen Conference (CBAT)
can always use your financial help. Continue to use
the donation flier or send donations marked “Step
Eleven” to any of the Alateen Coordinators. They will
forward to the treasurer to put into the Step Eleven
funds. We appreciate the Area members’ support.
Thank you for letting me serve as your Area
Convention Coordinator. I look forward to helping
share information with Melanie in the near future so
she can get 2017 off to a good start. I also look
forward to seeing you all again as the Missouri
Alateen Coordinator for Panel 57. Have a peaceful
holiday season and a hope-filled new year.
Yours in service,
Marilynn M.
Outgoing Convention Coordinator
