            Good afternoon members of the Beaver Valley Area Service Committee of Narcotic Anonymous.  First I would like to thank this body for re-reelection to the P & A Chairperson position.  I will try to continue serving this area this coming year as I have in the past. There is nothing new at this time to bring to your attention. Just a reminder to everyone, there will be a Learning Day event where all concerned members of our area can review and better clarify our local policy.  This event will take place during the Growing Tree/ Clean for Today picnic sometime between 2:30 and 5:30.

                        Thanks for the opportunity to serve,

                                                                                    Johnny D. - P&A Chairperson
