Not unlike at other organizations\, this transition began in 2020 largely due to the need to cut costs. Previously\, we printed more than 100\,000 copies of each issue and mailed more than 50\,000 to members in service. Currently\, about 3\,000 copies per issue are printed and mailed to approximately 200 members in service. In addition\, the total number of paid subscriptions has fallen to under 50. Due to escalating costs\, the annual cost to print and mail four issues per year is nearly $35\,000. \nAt its March 2024 meeting\, the A.A. World Services Board voted to discontinue the print edition\, effective immediately. This decision was made after a careful and thorough review of the costs related to printing and mailing\, the current number of print subscribers\, and our ongoing efforts to reduce expenses in addition to the broad reach of the digital version. \nMaking Box 459 more widely available digitally through email\, subscribers\, aa.org\, and the Meeting Guide App has significantly expanded its reach and distribution. However\, it remains essential to ensure members who prefer or rely on hard-copy materials can still access Box 459. We trust that those serving at the Group level are well-attuned to the needs of their members and will continue to provide hard copies as necessary. Please be assured that Box 459 will continue to be published digitally and can be accessed on aa.org. Here\, members can sign up to receive the newsletter via email. Each issue is also available in PDF format that you can print and share. If you’re already receiving Box 459 via email\, your subscription will continue without interruption\, and there’s no need to sign up again. \nThose who have paid for print subscriptions for this year will be refunded. We will reach out to paid print subscribers in a separate communication with refund details. \nWe are also taking a fresh look at Box 459 to better serve the Fellowship and make the digital version more reader and mobile friendly. To this end\, we received over 5\,000 responses to the Box 459 reader survey and will be incorporating your feedback into future issues. Thank you for your continued support of this newsletter and we hope it continues to help you and your groups to carry out our primary purpose. \nWarmly\, \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCarolyn W.                                                          Bob W.\nChair\, AAWS Board                                            General Manager\, GSO \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPour : RSG\, RDR\, officiers régionaux et présidents de comités régionaux\,  délégués\, délégués adjoints\, membres nommés de comité\, directeurs non-administrateurs\, administrateurs\, employés du BSG\, Intergroupes et Bureaux centraux \nChers amis\, chères amies\, \nCes dernières années\, nous avons grandement réduit la distribution du bulletin Box 4-5-9en version imprimée. Comme pour beaucoup d’autres organisations\, cette transition a débuté en 2020 en grande partie car nous avions besoin de réduire nos dépenses. Avant cela\, nous imprimions près de 100 000 exemplaires de chaque numéro et envoyions plus de 50 000 exemplaires à des membres actifs dans le service. Aujourd’hui\, nous imprimons et envoyons environ 3 000 exemplaires par numéro à quelque 200 membres actifs dans le service\, mais nous comptons moins de 50 personnes ayant un abonnement payant. En raison de la hausse des coûts\, l’impression et l’envoi de quatre numéros par an nous reviennent à près de 35 000 $ par an. \nLors de sa réunion de mars 2024\, le Conseil d’AA World Services a voté pour ne plus distribuer la version imprimée; cette mesure était à effet immédiat. Cette décision a été prise après une étude rigoureuse et exhaustive des coûts connexes à l’impression et à l’envoi\, du nombre d’abonnés actuels à la version imprimée et aux mesures que nous prenons pour réduire les dépenses\, en plus de la grande portée de la version numérique. \nRendre le Box 4-5-9 plus largement accessible au format numérique par courriel\, les abonnés\, aa.org/fr et l’application Meeting Guide a permis une bien plus grande diffusion. Cependant\, il est toujours crucial de s’assurer que les membres qui préfèrent ou qui comptent sur les documents en version papier aient toujours accès au Box 4-5-9. Nous faisons confiance aux personnes qui servent à l’échelle du groupe de bien comprendre les besoins de leurs membres pour continuer à leur remettre des versions papier si besoin. La version numérique du Box 4-5-9 continuera bien à être publiée\, disponible sur aa.org/fr. Sur le site Web\, les membres peuvent s’inscrire pour recevoir le bulletin par courriel. Chaque numéro est également disponible au format PDF que vous pouvez imprimer et partager. Si vous recevez déjà le Box 4-5-9 par courriel\, votre abonnement continuera sans interruption\, et vous n’avez pas besoin de vous inscrire à nouveau. \nLes personnes ayant payé pour un abonnement à la version imprimée cette année recevront un remboursement. Nous contacterons ces abonnés dans une communication séparée pour préciser les détails du remboursement. \nNous repensons également au contenu du Box 4-5-9 pour mieux servir le Mouvement et rendre la version numérique plus facile d’utilisation et plus adaptée aux téléphones intelligents. Nous avons reçu plus de 5 000 réponses au sondage des lecteurs du Box 4-5-9 et nous prenons vos retours en compte pour les prochains numéros. Merci pour votre soutien permanent à ce bulletin et nous espérons qu’il continuera à vous aider\, vous et vos groupes\, à travailler vers notre but premier. \nAmitiés\, \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCarolyn W.                                                        Bob W.\nPrésidente du Conseil d’AAWS                        Directeur général du BSG \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA: RSG\, MCD\, servidores y coordinadores de comités de área\, delegados\, delegados suplentes\, miembros de comité invitados\, directores no custodios\, custodios\, empleados de la OSG\, intergrupos y oficinas centrales. \nEstimados amigos: \nEn los últimos años hemos reducido enormemente la distribución del boletín Box 4-5-9 en formato impreso. Al igual que en muchas otras organizaciones\, este proceso de transición comenzó en 2020\, en gran parte debido a la necesidad de recortar costos. Antes de ello\, imprimíamos más de 100\,000 ejemplares de cada número y enviábamos más de 50\,000 a miembros en el servicio. Actualmente\, se imprimen y distribuyen por correo unos 3\,000 ejemplares por número a aproximadamente 200 servidores. Además de eso\, el número total de suscripciones pagas ha disminuido a menos de 50. A raíz del aumento de los costos\, el costo anual de imprimir y enviar por correo cuatro números por año es de casi $35\,000. \nEn su reunión de marzo de 2024\, la junta de AA World Services votó a favor de dejar de producir la edición impresa inmediatamente. Esta decisión se tomó luego de un análisis cuidadoso y exhaustivo de los costos relacionados con la impresión y el envío\, el número actual de suscriptores a la versión impresa\, y nuestros esfuerzos continuos de reducir los gastos —además del amplio alcance de la versión digital—. \nHacer que Box 4-5-9 esté más disponible digitalmente por medio del correo electrónico\, los suscriptores\, aa.org y la aplicación Meeting Guide ha ampliado enormemente su alcance y distribución. Sin embargo\, sigue siendo esencial garantizar que los miembros que prefieran o necesiten materiales impresos puedan seguir teniendo acceso a Box 4-5-9. Confiamos en que aquellos que presten servicio en los grupos estén familiarizados con las necesidades de sus miembros y que continúen brindando copias impresas a los que las necesiten. Queremos asegurarles que Box 4-5-9 seguirá siendo publicado digitalmente y que se puede tener acceso al mismo por medio de aa.org. Aquí\, los miembros pueden inscribirse para recibir el boletín por correo electrónico. Cada número también está disponible en formato PDF\, que puede imprirmir y compartir. Si ya está recibiendo Box 4-5-9 por correo electrónico\, su suscripción continuará sin interrupción\, y no hay necesidad de volver a inscribirse. \nLos que hayan pagado suscripciones impresas para este año recibirán un reembolso. Nos pondremos en contacto con los suscriptores pagos a la versión impresa en una comunicación aparte\, dándoles detalles sobre el reembolso. \nTambién estamos dándole una nueva mirada al boletín Box 4-5-9 para mejorar el servicio a la Comunidad y hacer que la versión digital sea más accesible al lector y a los que usan dispositivos móviles. Con este fin\, recibimos más de 5\,000 respuestas a la encuesta a los lectores de Box 4-5-9 y estaremos integrando sus comentarios y sugerencias en números futuros. Muchas gracias por su constante apoyo a este boletín; esperamos que siga siendo de ayuda para usted y para sus grupos a la hora de cumplir con nuestro objetivo primordial. \nCordialmente\, \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCarolyn W.                                                          Bob W.\nCoordinadora\, junta de AAWS                            Gerente general URL:https://www.nemdaa.org/tecevent/box-4-5-9-update END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240518T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240518T150000 DTSTAMP:20240518T115641Z CREATED:20240101T101337Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240518T115641Z UID:33699-1716019200-1716044400@www.nemdaa.org SUMMARY:Area 29 - Assembly Meeting - MGS (Maryland General Service) - REPORT BACK DESCRIPTION:Area Assembly: Delegate Report Back from GSC\, Host District: District 22\nSeverna Park United Methodist Church\, 731 Benfield Rd.\, Severna Park\, MD \nor by  \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nMeeting ID:   899 9024 0795\nPasscode:   519577 \n\n\n\n\n8 a.m. to 9 a.m. Coffee\, breakfast items\, and fellowshipping\n8:20 a.m. Orientation for new GSRs and DCMs\n9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Business Meeting (meeting ends when business concludes). \nApril 2024 MGS Treasurer Report and Financials \nADVISORY ACTIONS OF THE 74TH GERERAL SERVICE CONFERENCE \nADVISORY ACTIONS OF THE 74TH GENERAL SERVICE CONFERENCE- Spanish \nMay Assembly Agenda \nArea 29 Calendar \nMarch 2024 Assembly Minutes \n\n\nQuarterly Contribution Report for Area 029-Summary\n\n\n\n\n\nQuarterly Contribution Report for Area 029-Detail URL:https://www.nemdaa.org/tecevent/area-29-assembly-meeting-mgs-maryland-general-service-report-back LOCATION:Severna Park United Methodist Church\, 731 Benfield Road\, Severna Park\, 21146\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240518T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240518T230000 DTSTAMP:20240420T225552Z CREATED:20240417T113424Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240420T225552Z UID:34569-1716058800-1716073200@www.nemdaa.org SUMMARY:The Spring Fling DESCRIPTION:Rising Sun Group is sponsoring \nThe Spring Fling\nFellowship Hall (upstairs from the regular meeting place) 1195 Firetower Rd\, Colora\, MD 21917\n7 pm – 11 pm\nSpeakers meeting at 7 \nDJ from 8-11 \nBeverages and snacks supplied.\nTickets $10.00\nFor tickets call the office or email office@nemdaa.org for contact information.
