Winifred here letting you know about two upcoming OA related events!

First event:  Let’s social distance together!

One of our fellows, Mardi, has graciously invited everyone who can come to Bring a Brown bag lunch for a picnic in her yard overlooking Lake Murray. There is plenty of room to spread out in the sunshine and fresh air, so distancing should not be a problem.

That is this Friday, May 15 from 12pm - 2pm

Chairs and atmosphere provided...just bring your own lunch and drink if you'd like.  Her address is 229 Twin Gates Road, Irmo, South Carolina 29063.


Second Event:  Sunday speaker meeting is back!

Come to the 5:30 Sunday newcomer meeting on Zoom to hear Shawn share her experience, strength and hope on steps 4 & 5.  I hope we fill the screen with people to hear her compelling wisdom.

World Service Business Conference results

5/13/2020

From Bonnie Lewsaw, Chair, Board of Trustees:

I would like to thank everyone for your participation in the 2020 World Service Business Conference (WSBC) and for allowing me the honor of serving as your chair.
 
Our procedures for this year have been unprecedented to say the least. This WSBC would not have been possible without a great deal of patience, determination, and trust from everyone involved. We have experienced the Principles of our Traditions and Concepts as never before.
 
We had 180 delegates registered from thirteen countries (Australia, Brazil, Canada, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Italy, New Zealand, Russia, South Africa, Spain, United Kingdom, USA).
 
We now have concluded the two critical parts of our business—the election of new trustees and the review of the literature motions.

please review the full report in your email from CMI or at https://oa.org/world-service-business-conference/ once it is uploaded by WSO

5 Comments

 
We want to welcome all of our newcomers and returning members.  World Service Office created a new pamphlet in 2018 called "Where do I start?"  This is a combination of the smaller pamphlets that used to be included in the Welcome Packet.


Greet newcomers and help them get started with OA's welcome pamphlet. Packed with key information about OA's Twelve Step program of recovery, this 32-page pamphlet includes the Fifteen Questions, Tools (abridged), Plans of Eating, OA Promise, AA Third and Seventh Step Prayers, "Welcome Home," and so much more. With Where Do I Start? in hand, newcomers get an introduction to OA and can find answers to frequently asked questions, such as:
  • What is compulsive eating?
  • Can OA help me if I am bulimic or anorexic?
  • Is OA a religious society?
  • What is the Twelve Step recovery program?

Help newcomers start their journey of recovery; welcome them with Where Do I Start? Copyright 2018.  


Please reply to this email with your mailing address if you would like to receive one.   This service is being offered by your Newcomer and Twelfth Step Within committees.
