Chair Message
Dear Al-Anon Friends,
Thank you to the members of all Al-Anon groups who have elected a Group Representative (GR) and an Information Service Representative (ISR).
The GR for your meeting is the link to Southern California World Service and Al-Anon’s World Service Office. An ISR connects you to the happenings of San Diego County Al-Anon Family Groups.
These service commitments are fundamental and help us all to stay connected.
GR Guidelines: https://al-anon.org/pdf/G11.pdf

Message From Your Board
Dear Al-Anon Friends,
First, I’d like to express deep gratitude to the 2024 San Diego County AFG Area Information Service Office (AIS) Board Members. A special thank you to both those who are rotating out: Anita R., Christine D., Dan B., Elo O., Kristen S., Martin D., Sandra L., Trenta R., and Werner B.; and to those who will continue in 2025: Cindi H., Dora S., Ron P., and Susan L.
The New 2025 AIS Board begins with representation in all positions listed above, along with their email contact information. We all welcome your questions and comments, as we are here to serve you.
A new year is when many people set personal goals. Are you one who does? Have you made an Al-Anon service goal? Would you join me in accepting a new (to you) service commitment sometime this year? I have a few suggestions: volunteering in the AIS Office, sponsorship, group service positions, applying for a Service Board position in the Fall, welcoming newcomers at your home meeting, the possibilities are endless. A quote from Courage to Change, page 336 ”As I do service work, I see myself accomplishing things, giving, receiving, growing. I see my progress as I learn to learn, and as the lessons become a part of me, I take them into all areas of my life.”
Yours in service and with gratitude,
Sherry M.
Board Chair
