  1. Fellowship Development Fellowship Development Fellowship Development Report on the Chain o’Lakes Service Awareness Day March 1, 2008 Chain o’Lakes

  2. Summary We learned some lessons. L We gained tools. $ We were under budget. S We were privileged to serve.

  3. Major Lessons Learned 1. We need to target training better. Some were disappointed because they were not taught about carrying beepers, sitting on PI/PR panels and so on. 2. We will rely on the PR Handbook more—specifically, Chapter 11 (Event Planning) to avoid “repeating the same mistake.”

  4. We gained tools! 1. Presentations. H&I, Helpline and leadership orientations are ready for other sessions. 2. Feedback: Almost one in three participants wrote written evaluationsof what worked and didn’t work for them!

  5. The Region budgeted $800 for this event. We spent $569.73 ($230.27 under budget). Since we had about 75 participants, the costper person was abouta dime per hour per participant.

  6. Expenses Rent for 400 members = $50.00 Copies, pens, etc = $99.99 Gas for FD Chair = $59.00 Refreshments= $360.74 Total = $569.73

  7. Participants after the night meeting

  8. 62 Registered Participants One member from New York enjoyed the day with a sponsee. He definitely went to N.A. lengths! 

  9. Fun Coast 1 Greater Orlando 7 Sun Coast 1 Chain o’Lakes 39 Forest 2 River 3 Recovery 1 Treasure 1 Daytona 3 SpaceCoast 3 62 members “signed in” from 10 Areas (although we had 75 or more at times)

  10. Attendance—by type of service 13 representatives (8 GSRs + 5 RCMs) 12 members never in service. 5 admin servants: 2 chairs, 1 vice chair, 1 secretary, 1 treasurer. 19 committee servants: 6 from H&I, 5 from PI/PR, 6 from Helpline & 2 from FD. 13 members serve in Activities. Since many newcomers “know how to party,” Activities is often strong. We remain challenged to channel that energy into other service efforts.

  11. Feedback 24 evaluators agreed: The facility was a great pick. The topics were good. The presenters did fine. The presentations were effective.

  12. Future Topics • Fellowship development • NA Guidelines • Subcommittee Functions • Area inventory (gathering information) • Working with newcomers • Area Planning for solutions • New structure of service, including restructuring Areas • Strong home groups/building membership • Group leadership • Webpage

  13. Most enjoyable, informative things • Questions and answers • Regional presentations, especially leadership and H&I • Group topics • Fellowship/unity • Food • Speaker—thank you, Mark!

  14. Leastenjoyable, informative things • Issue discussions (problems/ solutions of subcommittees) • Inability to smoke • Chatter—especially before breaks • PR (appeared unprepared) • Seven hours was too long • Questions and answers...which was also the single most enjoyable part!? 

  15. What would you like to see more of? More breaks Coordination between subcommittees Participation/ Group interaction/ round tables Specific service training Better ways to share solutions Q & A to the RSC Snacks & food

  16. We were especially grateful to be of service. thank you!
