NEW Posts, Announcements, and Group Flyers!

[District-only Postings will remain visible on this page [in the “News and Events” section of the D7 mainpage] 

(for approximately 3 months or until the end of the event, whichever comes first.)

▬ Does your group have an anniversary celebration, service event or other activity which you would like made visible to other members (here, to selected multiple Districts, Area-wide, or perhaps internationally)? 

▬ Would your group, committee or other AA entity wish to inform the Fellowship of such things as meeting schedule/location changes, requests for participation at upcoming events or on committees?

If so, we’d be glad to arrange to have your flyer posted here or on other District pages (especially useful for “Virtual” events) .

===============

►►► What is the difference between an Event and a Post???

▬  EVENTS:

An Event is an activity which takes place at a specific location (including Online or Hybrid) at a specific date (or dates) and time(s).

Examples would be: Service Days, Alkathons, Assemblies, group anniversary celebrations, etc.,

*** Note that ONLY Events are made visible on the Area Events Calendar. Posts do NOT appear there, but are made visible instead in each Districts “homepage” in the “News and Events” section.

▬ POSTS:

Information eligible to be placed on this website as a POST would fall into categories such as: notifications of meeting location or time changes, solicitations for participation in service committees, requests for members to volunteer for support services at District/Area activities, newly available AA (GSO-approved) literature items and any relevant, pertinent data falling under the purview of this Website’s Service and/or committee guidelines.

===============

Please feel free to e-mail it as an attachment (flyer), with information, to:

If it is an EVENT, send to  Area EVENTS at events@ct-aa.org

If it falls under the definition of a post, and needs to ONLY be made visible on THIS DISTRICT’s page, please send to the District webchair at: webchair@ct-aa-d7.org

Should you wish your POST be made visible to other (or ALL ) Districts in Area 11; send it instead to Area EVENTS (events@ct-aa.org ) as only they can add items to other than this single Districts pages.

Please be sure to adhere to the Area web standards for postings, (primarily NO use of last names, phone numbers, or personally identifiable e-mail addresses).  Document format may be in any editable format (MS Word) or as .PDF  — All postings will be converted to .PDF prior to posting by the relevant webcommittee person. 

See the Area website posting guidelines at:  Area-11 Website submission guidelines

IMPORTANT NOTES:

When entering contribution amounts, enter ONLY numerals 0-9 and the decimal point. Do NOT prefix your entry with a dollar sign ($) or the process will not take you to the PayPal gateway.

Please use the “Group Contribution to District 7” link and be sure to fill in the (required) group information [Group Number, Meeting Day, Start Time].    Your Treasurer’s email address (or desired recipient of confirmation) should be used. This is of great help to the financial recordkeeping at District level.
