Ok I now am a Grapevine representative
Now what is it I do?
A.A. Grapevine Reps (GvRs)
-
The basic job of the Grapevine
representative, or GvR, is to make the magazine available to the home group,
and to encourage AAs to read it, subscribe to it, and use it in Twelfth Step
work.
-
The GvR may volunteer for the service
position or be elected.
-
Most GvRs have found that simply bringing The
Grapevine to the attention of their group on a regular basis raises
awareness about the magazine and eventually expands its readership.
-
GVRs who read and enjoy the magazine
themselves are likely to communicate their enthusiasm to others. GvRs at
group, district and area levels are a vital part of The Grapevine helping us
to continue carrying the message of AA.
-
Attend the District's Monthly Committee
meeting, where information is shared on what is working and what is not
working. Also as a member of the committee you can help by bringing new
suggestions for all of us to try and implement.
-
What started out in 1944 as an eight-paged
newsletter grew into a full magazine that not only served as Bill W.'s
communication tool to the growing number of AAs but has now reached a monthly
circulation of approximately 115,000.
