Bakersfield 15, 16, 17 February / Febrero 2019
The multi-regional convention in Bakersfield began on Friday February 15th with an information table and an open share meeting followed by dinner and fellowship.
The speaker meetings on Saturday ran from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Members were present from Northern California, Central California, Southern California, Arizona, and Nevada. The sessions were focused on the Nar-Anon Traditions and mixed speakers with workshops. One result was an extensive participatory review of sections of the Nar-Anon Traditions Booklet.
Following the speaker session, many of us went to dinner at a local restaurant, then hurried back for the Saturday multi-regional business meeting. The business meeting is informal. However, those assembled recommend that the following ideas be explored by each region.
- Expand this event by also inviting the Arizona, Baja, Pacific Northwest, and Rocky Mountain Regions.
- Work towards a long term goal to split this event away from this NA Convention into a stand-alone event that can rotate around the western regions.
- Rename the event from the “multi-regional convention” to the “Western Regional Convention of Nar-Anon Family Groups.”
Most members left early on Sunday to try to get home before the storms. A few stuck around for breakfasts at various locations. A few participated in a Step Study workshop in the afternoon.
It was a great event, and we already have an invitation to return next year.
