Gold Coast Area
of Narcotics Anonymous

Our First Tradition states that “personal recovery depends on NA unity.” The Activities Committee coordinates fun, recovery-oriented events that help promote unity in the Gold Coast Area NA community as well as fundraising events that help support other committees and groups in the Gold Coast Area in their effort to carry the message to the still sick and suffering addict.

This committee meets the first and third Tuesday of each month at Serenity by the Sea.

Area Service Committee Policy

Many area service committees have six administrative officers: a chairperson, a vice chairperson, a treasurer, a secretary, and two regional committee members (RCMs).

These individuals are responsible for administering the general affairs of the entire area committee. Because of that, it’s important that great care be taken in their selection. A substantial amount of clean time and personal maturity should be the first consideration, along with experience in the steps, traditions, and concepts of service. Our trusted servants should demonstrate the stability and personal sense of direction that serve as an example to others. They should be capable of serving without attempting to govern. The specific amount of clean time required for each office will vary from area to area according to how long the local NA community has been in existence.

This committee meets every second Sunday of the month virtually and at Our Place II

Policy

“Workhorse” of the service structure–maybe that’s the best way to describe the area service committee. Most of the hands-on work of delivering NA services to the groups and the community occurs at the area level.

To procure from the Regional Service Office all literature and related items and distribute them at the group level. To procure and distribute meeting lists from the Public Relations Subcommittee as needed. Distribution is done largely at the monthly Area Service Committee meeting. Submit the order through the webstore, and pick up order at the ASC.

To consider any input referred by the ASC that affects the policy of the ASC, and upon deliberation give recommendations to the Area. When necessary, the vote count is included. Also, to give a written response to any issues regarding tradition violations. When a unanimous decision cannot be reached, the issue will be forwarded to South Florida Regional Admin Committee. The Policy Subcommittee will update the policy as needed.
