Highlights from the 67th Pennsylvania Area Assembly
What a thrill it was for me to be part of this year’s Area Assembly! This is my first year as Area Chair and what an honor and blessing it is to serve in this capacity for me. I love our Al-Anon program and all our members so much. It felt so good to meet new friends and see many people I have served with over the years. Thank you to all who came and to all who helped plan and put on the Assembly!
Chairperson Corner – July 2024
I remember my first Assembly as Group Representative (GR). I felt so small and afraid and so different from everyone else. I was grateful to be traveling with a group of gals from my District and rooming with my sponsor and a few other close friends who were also GRs. It was easy for me to compare myself to the Officers at the front table in the general session room, to the DRs, and even to the other GRs who seemed to have it all together and were ‘pros’ at this. I know today that I was comparing my insides to someone else’s outside and that wasn’t fair to myself and others.

Fitting into Our New Service Roles
When I came to Al-Anon, I did not think I would ever grow as much as I really did from this program. As a matter of fact, my personal growth was probably the furthest thing from my mind.
