Greetings everyone-
We had a relatively calm month over on OIAA in April - We discussed rotation of reps from our
member groups and how rotation is an important basic part of AA. We were introduced to our military Veterans member groups and discussed the possibilities of doing more for our veterans.We have begun the procedures for electing new TS's on OIAA.
Anyone who is interested in being part of OIAA is welcome -
we are open to all AA members. Our website is

We are 13 months away from our next international convention-June 2010- San Antonio, TX.
