| About QYPAA |
|
| The QYPAA statement of purpose |
| QYPAA stands for Queensland Young People in Alcoholics
Anonymous. We are a committee of young AA members enthusiastic about
our recovery. We aspire to host an annual convention in Queensland
as a celebration of recovery, unity, and service. |
| QYPAA is all-inclusive, never exclusive
or forbidding. QYPAA is a convention hosted by young people, for the
fellowship as a whole. Attendance is open to all persons concerned
with a drinking problem irrespective of age. |
| QYPAA is a sub-committee
of Area C North-Eastern Region, and as such we are responsible to
the fellowship as a whole. We endeavour to be a self-supporting committee,
with any surplus funds directed back into the fellowship through Area. |
| Our primary purpose
is to stay sober, and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety. |
| |
| Commitee Objectives |
- We hope to form a committee and sub-committees which involve
25-40 young members of Alcoholics Anonymous, so that they may
experience the benefits of service work in AA..
|
- The QYPAA committee hopes to be self-supporting through fundraising
activities and registrations, with any surplus funds directed
back into the fellowship as a whole via Area C.
|
- We plan to hold a weekend convention in 2005, offering a host
of core AA, beginner related meetings
|
- Where possible we will follow the same paths that have been
walked by previous successful Young People’s conventions in Australia.
|
- Through Public Information activities we hope to increase awareness
of the alcohol problem - and the effectiveness of AA as a solution
- amongst the Public and Professional Community.
|
- We will create a set of guidelines for future QYPAA committees
to follow, with a view to ensuring continuity from year to year
and respect of the AA Traditions and Concepts.
|
- The QYPAA committee hopes to inspire enthusiasm about recovery
from alcoholism.ts
|
- To encourage and actively support unity within Alcoholics Anonymous
locally.
