Guilford Community Center at 6:30 – 7:30 pm In the Leete Room
WELCOME
GSR PREAMBLE (Recite together):
As General Service Representatives we are the communication link for our groups and the world of AA. As
Trusted Servants, our job is to bring information to our groups so that they may reach an informed group
conscience. Let us have the patience to listen while others share, and have the wisdom to do what is right for
our groups and AA as a whole.
RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT (Recite together):
I am responsible when anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, I want the hand of AA always to be there. And
for that: I am responsible.
SERENITY PRAYER (Recite together):
