To all Group Secretaries:
If your group does not have an ISR, please read this message at your Meeting or
highlight the topics for your members.
The Intercom is now available as an online news feed. Same information, new format. Check it out here: https://www.alanonsandiego.org/the-intercom
Let’s get reacquainted with the Intercom”
Did you know there are two versions of the Intercom?
The Public version, found on our website under “Intercom”, which is an abbreviated format:
It doesn’t include Financial and Contribution Reports
It doesn’t include Personal contact information
The other version is a full format; available to all Al-Anon members registered to receive a copy
Submit the “Intercom Subscription Form” if you’re an interested member
Register with the SCWS if you hold a Group position, such as Secretary, ISR, CMA, GR, etc. and you will be added to the distribution list; available via our website.
Doesn’t it just list upcoming events?
There are 3 sections to the Intercom plus flyers:
Pages 1-3: Message from the Board, Office Report, Meeting Changes & Updates and Dates for upcoming Board, ISR and District Meetings are input from the Board and shared by your ISR if your group has one.
Pages 3-last: Calendar of Events, Alateen and District News are information the Group Secretary can choose to announce.
Attachments: Financial and Contribution Reports provide full transparency regarding our financial position; it provides information members may have an interest in, the group Treasurer can verify their group contributions made.
Why do we have an Intercom?
It is one of the suggested functions of an Al-Anon Information Service Intergroup, as outlined in the Al-Anon/Alateen Service Manual 2018, under Al-Anon Information Service (AIS/Intergroups), pg. 66:
Prints and distributes its own newsletter of local Al-Anon/Alateen activities for the groups that support it. (pg. 67)
