The Florida Region is writing a book on the history of NA in Florida. I attended the first session, it was great!! Very educational and very hands-on. My participation was in the editing/proofreading sessions over a weekend in Feb. A number of dedicated individuals had already gathered info/stories from as many people as were willing and who came forward from the announcements and flyers distributed from the FL region. We assembled/disassembled/reassembled and edited for "flow" and readability. It was humbling and yet exhilirating to be part of a lit committee, maybe not so dissimilar from how the Basic Text was written.
We got thru the first 4-5 chapters, and there will be another lit workshop weekend in April, on the 26th and the 27th at the Florida RSO in Lantana, FL (West Palm). I am copying the flyer and pasting it below. Come be part of, or if not, please pray that this be God's work, not ours, that it continues to help suffering addicts everywhere.

IGS,
Bob F.

PLEASE ANNOUNCE AT YOUR MEETINGS

The Ad-Hoc Committee on the Florida History of Narcotics Anonymous & the FRSC Literature Sub-Committee would like to invite to attend and participate in Florida History Review Conferences

This conference will take place over two weekends. We need your help to review, edit, proof the first draft of the first five chapters of the “history” book. The second weekend, we will review, edit, proof the final five chapters. We would like to cordially invite N.A. members to participate in this process. This project will be focused on the entire state, including the Florida Region, the South Florida Region and NW Florida areas. It may include information related to other areas that impacted our development and whose development we impacted.

It is hoped that the Florida Regional Service Office will be the focal point of such a project, so that all members, groups and areas and regions will be oriented to participating, supporting the committee’s efforts and donate personal archives, knowing that this effort will be recognized as a significant part of the history of Narcotics Anonymous in Florida.

This book will be 200-250 pages in length, a numbered special edition page will be included in each of the 1000 limited copies as well as a variety of both color and black & white photos. The first several chapters will cover our origins, predecessors, supporters and of course, the birth of our fellowship. The rest of the publication will detail the history of Narcotics Anonymous in our state from the very beginning, the early years, from infancy-to-adolescents as well as our explosive growth of our fellowship in the eighties and beyond.

We need your help to…
