Literature Report
April 2013
Most of the time over the last month has gone in to preparing for the first ABC held abroad - the 2013 ACA WSO ABC in Birkerød, Denmark (near Copenhagen). The Literature committee undertook the task to begin the preliminary draft of the 2013 ABC Delegate’s Packet.
The Literature Committee’s preparations for the ABC included updating and/or getting prototypes of the Hospitals & Institutions, Public Information, ACA Essentials and New Literature Policy tri-folds, The Cross Talk and Good Enough Group booklets, and getting samples of the Danish Fellowship Text.
In addition, the Literature Committee followed up with the assigned tasks associated with the ACA WSO Literature Distribution Center’s Inventory/Order Processing Report (Inventory).
e-BRB sales for March were 252 e-books sold. All tolled, there have been 1,694 e-BRBs sold since it went live in August.
