Treasurer
Hello Family I am an Addict, and my name is Sean. I have been elected as the ORCNA XXIV Treasurer and am honored to be able to be of service in this capacity. Along with our Vice Treasurer Leanne P, I feel that all will go well in the financial department of this Convention. Leanne and I have worked together a fair amount in the Sudbury Area Service Committee and its Sub Committees and work well together. I have been doing service in our Area since 1997 and feel that that experience will help in this journey. Also with the guidance from ORCNA XXIII Treasurer Yaz and our Regional Treasurer Greg as well as our RCCCP Ben, I will have many avenues for guidance. Look forward to seeing you all in Sudbury on the long weekend in May 2011.
In Loving Service to Narcotics Anonymous.

Vice Treasurer
Hi everyone!
I'm an addict, my name is Leanne and I'll be serving as your alternate Treasurer for the Twenty - Fifth Regional convention of Narcotics Anonymous in Ontario in 2011. I have a lot of experience as Treasurer for Sudbury's annual Campout as well as serving as Treasurer of the Sudbury Area service committee for the past few years, however I have not had the experience of working on something as daunting as a Regional convention. It is for this reason I am pleased to serve in the alternate capacity, to have the opportunity to learn how the "big boys" do it. Sean and I have a good rapport and I am happy to be mentored by him. With Sean at my side and my OCD in high gear, I'm going to be the best gol-darned alternate Treasurer you ever saw! Oh yeah, ORCNA XIV won't be too shabby either.
Yours in Loving Service,
Leanne P.

Convention Information Chairperson
Hey all my name is Diane, and I am an addict. I am your Convention Information Chair for ORCNA XXIV.
I am truly grateful to be of service for the upcoming convention. This committee will be needing many volunteers and will be thankful for all the help we receive.
If your are interested in volunteering in any capacity please contact me at the e mail address below.
At this time we would also invite all areas to organize a ORCNA XX1V fundraiser but only if their areas are able to do so.
We would like to include these in our quarterly newsletter which we hope to have ready for the regional meeting in July. Please contact us if you need any information.

Hotel and Hospitality Chairperson
Hello everyone my name is Phyllis and I’m an addict. I am part of the Hotels and Hospitality team for the ORCNA XXIV convention being held in Sudbury in May of 2010.
I am the chairperson, Harry is my vice-chair and Chaz is my secretary. We are all very excited about the upcoming convention and have many amazing ideas that should make this a memorable occasion.
I am grateful that my Higher Power has seen to it that I am challenged in this way.
Let me share a little about myself. My clean date is October 28, 2005. Since that fateful day my life has changed. I am involved in service at our area level as well as at my home group level.
I am currently secretary for area, campout and activities and, panel member for hospital and institutions. I receive many gifts when I share my story with members who are unable to attend regular meetings.
I enjoy the fellowship that comes from reaching out to fellow members, and cannot imagine what my life would be like without it. It is a constant sense of amazement to me that I can now call so many people my friends.
If you have any interest in service follow your heart and give back what was so freely given. If you have a specific interest in Hotels and Hospitality you can contact me at the link below, or come to a sub-committee meeting.
If your interests lay in other areas, all are welcome at the sub-committee meetings listed below.
I Hope to hear from you soon. May your Higher Power keep you safe.
In Loving Service,
Phyllis B.
