“This we owe to GSA’s future; to place our common welfare first, to keep our Fellowship united. For on GSA unity depend our lives, and the lives to come.”
- Open with Declaration of Unity Prayer, Serenity Prayer, and the reading of the 12 Traditions
- Identifying GSRs and members of our community who are present
- Discussion of the best means to distribute the GSAWS Inc. copyrighted GreySheet
Background Information for the Discussion:
- The legal, copyrighted version of the GreySheet is now published as a PDF and available to GSA Intergroups to distribute.
- The GSA Board of Trustees is considering the most prudent and effective means to distribute the GreySheet, keeping in mind the GS has typically been accessed through a sponsor and the document itself cannot be altered in any way.
- The GSA Board of Trustees has proposed that the GS be distributed through the Intergroup structure. The Intergroups are asked to document written permission from GSAWS, Inc. The process is outlined on the GSA website with letter templates and addresses available.
- Some Intergroups have already mailed formal written requests to the GSAWS, Inc. President for permission to copy and distribute the legal version of the GreySheet.
We are asking for feedback and discussion on how best we can do this especially for people that live in outposts.
Please note:
We will follow the "AA Sharing Session" format which means that each person present gets one two-minute timed share. The purpose is to allow all voices to be heard in order to see if substantial unanimity emerges. If time remains, a second round may begin. Our open sharing sessions are not necessarily attempting to reach a definitive solution at this time but rather to have all ideas on the table. Often, however, group conscience emerges and the path is revealed.
4. Close with the “I am responsible…” prayer and the "we" version of Serenity Prayer
“I am responsible…when anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help. I want the hand of GSA always to be there. And for that; I am responsible.”
Hope to see you there!
