WHAT THE HECK IS AN AA SHARE-A-DAY ? WHO GOES TO THESE THINGS ?
Share-A-Days are opportunities to carry the message to the alcoholic who still suffers. In Southeast New York (SENY), a Share-A-Day typically refers to a daylong or half-a-daylong event sponsored below the group level (by a District or County) centered around a broad theme. The event is made up of a series of meetings and workshops on issues or topics within the broad theme. Each workshop is usually just a meeting with 1-2 speakers followed by shares from the group (or sometimes question and answer sessions). Consistent with our 8th Tradition, the speakers are not experts, simply members who have experience, strength, and hope to share on the topics.
Share-A-Days are often open events for anyone interested to attend. Frequently, AA Share-A-Days are announced as having Al-Anon participation, which means, there are Al-Anon speakers and/or meetings within the Share-A-Day.
Depending on the size and scope of the Share-A-Days, there are typically numerous opportunities for service (not only speaking, chairing, logistics, etc.) for interested people regardless of the length of their sobriety.
Share-A-Days are also excellent opportunities to introduce an AAer to the world (and service) below the group level.
WHAT IS MANHATTAN SHARE-A-DAY ( MSAD ) ?
For the last 43 years, Manhattan County AA has sponsored a day-long Share-A-Day; traditionally, the General Service Conference theme is the broad theme of Manhattan Share-A-Day. Thus, the Manhattan Share-A-Day theme for 2024 is Connecting with Love, Unity and Service . All of the day’s activities tie back to that broad theme. Al-Anon, Alateen, and District 614 (the Hispanic Manhattan District) participate in Manhattan Share-A-Day. In choosing speakers and trusted servants for the various workshops, the Manhattan Share-A-Day planning committee seeks to reflect and represent the diversity of its districts and groups.
Typically, Manhattan Share-A-Day begins with a breakfast and a welcome meeting followed by 50-minute meetings in as many meeting spaces as the meeting facility offers. More information will be available as we develop this incredible event.
All Manhattan Share-A-Day meetings and workshops are considered open. ( click here for more information )
