Service Board

Message From Your Board

Al-Anon is made up almost entirely of volunteers throughout the various service arms. An essential part of recovery is being of service to others.

Are you interested in giving back a tiny portion of your time and expertise? We have created an online Volunteer Application Form: https://www.alanonsandiego.org/volunteer-form.

There are many service opportunities depending on your availability, interest, and skills. We need office help, or you can support or lead specific projects such as our website, social media, public outreach activities, fundraising, etc.

Thank you for considering joining us in carrying the message and supporting the Al-Anon and Alateen

community.

With much gratitude,

Werner

Web Coordinator

Message From Your Board

Hi everyone!

Anita R has asked me to write the Board letter this month about the 2024 Al-Anon Service Board. We are now soliciting nominations for the San Diego Intergroup Service Board. I have had the privilege of serving for almost two years, and I highly recommend the experience. I promise that it will enrich your Al-Anon life. The only requirements are:

• Al-Anon member for two (2) years

• No dual membership in AA and Al-Anon

• Two (2) year commitment

You can go to www.alanonsandiego.org/doing-service and scroll down for job descriptions and estimated monthly hours. You do not need to specify a desired position; existing and newly elected Board members meet in December to decide who fills which roles.

Most of us are on the Board because someone asked us. Encourage your sponsee or someone you admire from your home group to serve. All Nomination forms (which can be found at www.alanonsandiego.org (scroll down to the Announcements section) and are due by Wednesday, September 6, 2023, by 2 pm to Dan B at [email protected] or can be mailed or faxed to our Al-Anon office at (619)296-0840.

Thank you for being of Service!

Dan B

Message From Your Board

I was privileged to attend the Al-Anon International Convention with AA and Alateen participation in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I joined our Al-Anon family from Southern California on this incredible 4-day experience and met many more friends worldwide. Al-Anon is truly a worldwide fellowship. Almost 4,000 members joined in the celebration.

The first day was "A Day of Connection," with speakers and sessions sharing how service and outreach have helped us grow individually and spiritually. The large meetings began with reading the Serenity Prayer in English, Spanish, French, and ASL. There were over 80 sessions to select from joining in the following days. Some examples are the 3A's, boundaries, the new daily reader, humor, and more.

A conference highlight was a party on the plaza where music played while we danced and mingled. In the Parade of Love, members could represent their state or country as they strolled around the large hall. On the conference's closing day, we had 3 moving speakers at a Spiritual Meeting that ended with our Al-Anon Indian members in a drum circle playing as we exited.

Gratefully in service,

Anita R

Message From Your Board

We are already halfway through 2023, and we’ve done some great things. The San Diego AIS Board has hired a Web Assistant and Office Assistant. Our Web Coordinator has managed many updates and improvements to San Diego’s Al-Anon website and, along with the Interim Intercom Chair, they have made beautiful changes to the Intercom. The Outreach Liaison has consistently extended to Spanish and English communities the help and hope Al-Anon has to offer. Also, the Interim Alateen Chair has reached out to schools and meetings, spreading more knowledge of how we might help our teens gain the same help and hope.

I invite our members to practice outreach wherever they can and spread the serenity Al-Anon has given you. July is packed with events beginning with the Al-Anon International Convention and ending on July 2, SCAC (Southern California Alateen Conference) July 8-9 is happening for the first time in over six years, and Al-Anon will have a booth for a second-year at the Pride Festival. We finish the month with a salute to our long-timers with a Long-Timers Sereni-Tea on July 29, in which all are welcome.

Gratefully in service,

Message From Your Board

We just had an extraordinary meeting with our ISRs this past Saturday. ISRs are vital to our membership as they provide an invaluable link to the groups. This link is not as strong as it could be because, of the 170 registered groups, only 37% (63) of them have an ISR; of those, less than 25% (25-30) attended the meeting. There are only six meetings a year, are on Zoom, and only an hour long. It’s easy, fun, and a great way to boost your recovery. Please make sure your group has an ISR and participates in the meetings. And, if they don’t, maybe it’s YOU!

Yours in service,

Anita R., Chairperson

Message From Your Board - May 2023

We have a robust Al-Anon program in San Diego County, and this has been an exciting month! A huge shout out to the Glee Anon group. Thank you to the planners, the cast, and the crew for making this event happen. We also had another fantastic San Diego Spring Round Up, and that was due to all of the volunteers that put in countless hours behind the scenes and during the event. Lastly, thank you to all who participated in these events.

I hope to see you at the office at our Al-Anon and Alateen Birthday Celebration on May 13!

Yours in service,

Our AIS Board is complete! We welcomed Ron P. as the Interim Alateen Chairperson. His past and present involvement with Alateens and AMIAS’ has blessed Al-Anon for years.

We are also pleased to announce that our new AIS Office Assistant starts on March 21. Her name is Rina, and will be a great asset to the San Diego Al-Anon office. Be sure to stop by and say hello.

The San Diego Al-Anon office hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 10am-4pm. Saturdays are available by appointment only.

We are excited about our first office fundraiser, Glee Anon, on March 25 in Del Mar. We hope to see you there and at the San Diego Roundup April 7-9. We are excited to have an Alateen Day on April 8 from 9am-9pm.

What you are seeing is a prototype for a potential facelift of our Intercom. A Task Force will study how we can improve our newsletter in terms of content, length, and look while streamlining the entire process. We will be using the 2022 Survey results and your input is welcome.

The 2023 Board was installed at its January ISR meeting (see table above). We still have an opening for the Alateen Chair position. This is an amazing opportunity to elevate your service and be part of a new, enthusiastic Board team. If interested, please send an email to Dan, our Historian & Nominations Chair at [email protected].

The 2023 Board was installed at the January ISR meeting (see the names above). A huge THANK YOU to our outgoing Board members, Julie J, Laura B, Martin D, Kim D, William R, and Vic S for their tremendous contribution and service.

District News - January 2023

Dear Friends,

This will be my last District 69 Report! It has been an honor and a ride full of growing experiences! Time just flew!

As you know Tradition 5 has always been the Tradition that I base my service on. This has kept me focused on the purpose of my services!

Groups in District 69 have a new District Representative, Annah H., new Alternate District Representative, Denise, and new treasurer, Victoria R. Thank you for accepting the nomination and be willing to serve! 

Positions still open: Secretary, District Alateen Liaison and AIS Liaison. These positions are easy and fun!  

Spotlight on the 12 Steps, 12 Traditions, and 12 Concepts (Back to Basics is hosting January 6th, 13th and 20th – zoom 878648776 pw 031435) so you can experience a spiritual awakening beyond your understanding.  By the way the Spotlight on the Steps, Traditions, and Concepts has a new Committee Chair, Brian!

Once you have attended the Spotlight on the 12 Steps, 12 Traditions, and 12 Concepts remember to attend the bimonthly Al-Anon/Bilingual Writing Workshop Committee (odd month -last Sunday of the month-January 28th zoom 395 556 4737 pw 755000)

We continue to encourage all GR-Group Representative or a CMA-Current Mailing Address (If Group has no GR only CMA) that is already paying for insurance or needs insurance, to please REQUEST FOR INSURANCE FORM NOW! 

The GRs voted to send to AIS-San Diego $2,500.00. We want to make sure they 

have the resources to support District 69 and others.

District 69 is buying a laptop for the Treasurer position and updating the QuickBooks subscription.

Our DAL has done an awesome job. Two new Alateen meetings were opened in our District 69. Below is a more informative list from our DAL:

* District69 has two new Alateen meetings up and running. One new high school meeting, and one new public meeting available. See San Diego AIS website for details.

* Alateen meetings continue to need our greater Al-Anon parent program support. Please encourage your children and others who are affected by this disease to attend local in-person Alateen meetings.

*Alateen sponsor substitutes are always in demand. If you are currently a certified AMIAS(Al-Anon member in Alateen Service), please contact Ron P. at 619-322-8558, to register as a substitute.

* Alateen sponsors are encouraged to keep their meeting status updated with the Area and local AIS office.

* District69 will need a new Alateen liaison (DAL), to cover the rotation position of term coming up this year. Participation is a few hours each month, and willing participants will be enabled firsthand training and assistance to execute duties. This is a three-year commitment. Please submit a nomination or request to Ron P. 619 322-8558.

* District69 has one of the higher concentrations of Alateen sponsors in Southern California. Experience the next level of your personal recovery by volunteering in Alateen service! Our children are our future! Visit the Southern California website for upcoming certifications to become in AMIAS!

APPRECIATION: Our gratitude to all our service arms: AIS-San Diego, SCWS and WSO! Without your support District 69 could not assist the Groups!

Love in Service,

Connie G-K
