New York to celebrate 30 years

May 12, 2012 is the day of the Spring Conference and also the time when we are celebrating the Thirtieth Anniversary of the founding of SCA/New York.  We look forward to the fellowship joining us in this celebration.

We are kicking off this event with a series of workshops on our collective Experience, Strength and Hope.  This will be followed by a discussion by Rob Weiss, the author of Cruise Control:  Understanding Sexual Addiction in Gay Men.

Capping off this great day will be our show.  This year’s production will be an adaptation of Follies.

check out the web site www.scany.org/events for further information.  Questions can be sent to events@scany.org

The ISO Outreach Committee

Joe S. is chair of the ISO Outreach Committee, which is responsible for contact between ISO and those outside the Fellowship. Its functions include three that are highly visible:

  • It deals with requests from the media and develops a public information policy in alignment with the 12 Traditions.
  • It handles relations with hospitals, prisons and other institutions, other 12-Step Fellowships, as well as professional associations.
  • It takes responsibility for communications to ISO, whether by postal mail, electronic mail, telephone or other means.

Joe submitted the following report to the fellowship:

The annual Inter-Fellowship Forum meeting was held in Chicago on Nov 5, hosted by SCA’s Chicago Intergroup. Much of our time was spent on matters of the IFF website. A $100 fee for that website was paid to the site’s webmaster by SCA as we are the hosts of that website for the current year. A copy of the minutes of the Chicago meeting is available at S-Fellowships.org. 

The in-prison meeting in Avenal, CA is progressing. They were very appreciative of the Starter Kit that we sent them. They are currently meeting in the prison yard, but are trying to get a space to meet inside the prison. I volunteered to write to the prison officials on their behalf if it is necessary. I, also, invited their members to participate in our recently started Sponsor-by-Mail program.
The Sponsor-by-Mail program now has 5 sponsor volunteers and one prisoner volunteer. You can get a sign-up form and correspondence guidelines from outreach@sca-recovery.org

We now have a full list of respondees  to phone calls made to our 800 number. You can still volunteer as  a stand-by by contacting outreach@sca-recovery.org. 

Respectfully submitted, 

 Joe S., Outreach Chair

New York Intergroup changes its schedule

Beginning in 2012, New York Intergroup meetings will occur bi-monthly rather
than monthly.  Meetings are normally on the first Sunday of the month,
but the first Sunday in January is New Year’s Day, so the January
Intergroup Meeting will occur on January 8, 2012, from 3:00 pm to 5:00
pm at the NYC LGBT Community Center on West 13th Street.

All SCA NY members are welcome to attend Intergroup Meetings, whether or
not you are an Intergroup Representative.  Please join us if you can.

Best regards,
Michael W. for info@scany.org

Updating the Archives

Thanks to the combined efforts of Frank H. in New York and the Intergroup in Los Angeles, we have tracked down all but one of the back issues of the SCAnner. This nearly complete archive can be reached through the “Print Archive” link on every page.

We’re missing just one issue — Fourth Quarter of 1992. If you happen to have a copy in your attic, please let us know.
