A Letter from the Area Registrar September, 2013 HMB Area Registrar Report - August 2013 Hi Folks, The Mid-year Directories have been emailed out for updates, as well as a fresh set of Group Records for each District. Updating the Group Record Sheets, especially the meeting Data, will be vital for producing an accurate meeting book for 2014. We have a few new groups in the Area, of which some have sent forms directly to GSO to register them. This way of registering a group works, but produces extra work for GSO Staff, and myself. The New Group forms, we download from GSO's website, do not ask for all of the required data to have the meetings listed on our meeting listing website. The forms do not ask if the meeting is open, or closed, nor do they ask the meeting types. Also, when GSO enters a new group, the record gets "frozen" for 30 days, and can't be edited. During this period, when I extract the meeting data to send to Kate, for the web, the meeting information does not show up. The simple solution is to email all New Group forms, Downloaded from our Area Website at: http://aahmbny.org/Forms.html, or information in the text body of an email to me, and I will Register the group, and get it on the web right away.

A Letter from the Area Registrar
September, 2013
HMB Area Registrar Report - August 2013
Hi Folks,
The Mid-year Directories have been emailed out for updates, as well as a fresh set
of Group Records for each District. Updating the Group Record Sheets, especially
the meeting Data, will be vital for producing an accurate meeting book for 2014.
We have a few new groups in the Area, of which some have sent forms directly to
GSO to register them. This way of registering a group works, but produces extra
work for GSO Staff, and myself. The New Group forms, we download from GSO's
website, do not ask for all of the required data to have the meetings listed on our
meeting listing website. The forms do not ask if the meeting is open, or closed, nor
do they ask the meeting types. Also, when GSO enters a new group, the record gets
"frozen" for 30 days, and can't be edited. During this period, when I extract the
meeting data to send to Kate, for the web, the meeting information does not show
up. The simple solution is to email all New Group forms, Downloaded from our
Area Website at: http://aahmbny.org/Forms.html, or information in the text body of
an email to me, and I will Register the group, and get it on the web right away.
