STRUCTURES AND GUIDELINES FOR DISTRICT TWO
DISTRICT TWO PREAMBLE
RECOVERY, UNITY AND SERVICE
These are the Three Legacies off our AA experience. Our leaders are but trusted servants, they
do not govern. God, as He may speak in our group conscience, is our sole authority. World
Service is the heart of our Third Legacy. Our meetings are informative and educational. They are
held so that the Committee Members, GSR’s and all interested members may be better
equipped to carry the message of World Service back to their home groups and individual
members, thus giving a better understanding to our purpose, our hopes and our work.
DISTRICT TWO AREA 14 NORTH FLORIDA STRUCTURES AND GUIDELINES
PREFACE
These by-laws are not intended to replace the current A.A. Manual. Most of these by-laws
come directly from the A.A. Service Manual. Each General Service District is autonomous and
these by-laws are used to assist in clarifying matters which pertain specifically to District Two
and our relationship with the North Florida Area Conference.

the event the District Committee Member is absent the meeting is then chaired by the

will be to the most current revision.
