OPENING REPORT
C.A. WORLD SERVICE CONFERENCE 2011
UNITY REPORT
INTRODUCTION AND OPENING COMMENTS:
The Unity committee is active in reaching out to our diverse elements through the Unity Link yahoo group. We try to use this group to encourage members to sponsor workshop concerning the traditions and to get involved in picnics, fun walks, campout and parties to promote C.A. Unity. You do not have to actually be on the Unity committee to be a part of the Unity Link. Please let me or any member of the Unity committee have your email address and we can invite you to join. We had some technical issues last year with the Yahoo group not being able to accept certain types of email address so if you asked to join last year and we didn‟t manage to get you on board, please ask again this year.
Ticket sales are going well for the Unity luncheon on Friday. Please if you have not yet bought a ticket come and see me as soon as you can as we have very few tickets left.

The Unity committee has organized 12 step meetings before and after business whilst conference is on. These meetings will take place in Santa Cruz Room. Please come along and participate. A list of meeting times is available on the desk outside.
We are still in need of Artwork submission for CATW once again come and see any member of the committee if you think you help with this.
During the year, we have been gathering completed Unity Survey Forms (Retaining the Newcomer) from far and wide in the hope we can present an overview of how groups work to make newcomers welcome and ensure they keep coming back.

CLOSING COMMENTS:
This is my last year as a delegate, and although I intend to still participate in Unity business, there are a number of positions we need to fill on the Unity committee including Chair and Vice Chair. If you are not sure which committee you would like to work on, remember it‟s our first tradition “Personal recovery depends on CA Unity” We all need Unity and The Unity Committee needs you.
Items I would like to see the Unity Committee work on in the coming year:
- To expand the Unity Link
- “International Information Request” I would like to have a list of contacts available on the yahoo group of people who speak more than one language.
- I would like to see better communication during the year to include Yahoo group and VOIP committee meetings become more common. We can achieve so much more in a short space of time if we actually get to speak to each other.
Thank you for allowing me to be of service.
Paul M. CA UK Delegate
Tony D.: Any questions for Unity, please proceed to the microphone. Seeing none, please join me in thanking them. Next up, LCF.
