A district is a geographical area which holds several groups - in metropolitan districts, the number is generally 15 to 20 groups. (from the AA service manual)
District 6 of the Western Area of Missouri is contained entirely within the boundaries of Kansas City. The geographical area of the district goes from the Missouri River to the north, Bannister Road on the south, the Missouri/Kansas state line on the west and Blue Ridge cutoff on the East.
District 6 is the home for 35 registered groups, including several groups whose primary attendance is that of specific demographic groups, such as Black, Gay, Native American, and Spanish Speaking.
Representatives from each group meet each month to exchange news about their groups, solutions about any group problems, information about how to contribute to each group's growth and well being.
Along with the Group Service Representative, AA members who are interested in working in specific areas, such as with correctional facilities, or perhaps radio stations, also meet to exchange ideas and coordinate efforts to better carry the message of AA. These people form the service committees of the district. Each committee has a chairperson who meets quarterly, with the chairpersons for the same committees from other districts, in the Western Area of Missouri to further extend the hand of AA.
Check out the Calendar for the time and location of the next district meeting. Please join us, and bring a fellow member.
