This is a very exciting time for Narcotics Anonymous (NA) with the review of motions from the Conference Agenda Report (CAR) being reviewed by our fellowship and the Western New York Regional workshop.

Last month, the workshop in Alford, Maine was very spiritual and enlightening. There were two world board members present. There are lots of new and exciting motions and changes to our literature this conference cycle.

The help from NA unity, which motivates and contributes to the primary purpose, was gratefully appreciated by the regional delegate alternate, Bob B, and regional chair, Dave M., and Liz M. Who stepped in to do flyers when Josh of Niagara Falls backed out of his commitment to the region? Also, Laurie M, regional committee member of Ni-O area resigned a week before hosting the regional meeting and C.A.R. workshop, in addition to being very resistant and rebellious to communicating information regarding workshop facility and accommodations however, the "we" who are willing, will continue to serve the N.A. way with goodwill. There are commitments that the regional delegate and regional delegate alternate have to fulfill.
Upcoming is the North East zonal forum January 30, 2004, and M.A.R.L.C.N.A - the world service e conference in April 2004.

There are request for some expenditure from the previous workshop in Maine, and budgeted request for the next two events.

I also contacted an insurance broker who insures the Greater New York region and discussed a policy. She informed me that our convention should be insured and the hotel will not cover us.
