Message From Your Board

Dear Al-Anon Friends,

We are excited to announce the upcoming GleeAnon Al-Anon Musical - a fundraising event supporting our San Diego County Al-Anon Information Service Office (SDC AISO). This event occurs on February 24, 2024, at 7:00 PM in Del Mar. Details are outlined in the Calendar of Events below and the attached flyer. Please join us for an evening of fun, fellowship, and surprises!

The SDC AISO board would like to encourage all San Diego service area groups to participate in decisions impacting the local office and its outreach efforts by having a dedicated Information Service Representative (ISR). ISRs are the conduit for information between the SDC AISO board and your Group. If your Group does not have an ISR, please discuss this in your next business meeting and encourage participation. The commitment is only 90 minutes six times a year on a Saturday morning. We need valuable input from the Groups and hope to see more ISRs at the March 9, 2024 meeting.

Thank you for supporting the San Diego office!

Cindi H., Interim Chair

SD AIS Board

Message From Your Board

Dear San Diego County Al-Anon Members,

Happy New Year - and welcome to 2024! I’d like to thank the following members who are stepping down fromthe Board after completing several years of service: Kelly SH (Ex-Officio), Kristen S (Office Chair) and Hilda A (Spanish Liaison). We are truly grateful for their service.

Moving forward, there are several changes on the Board (as noted above in the 2024 Service Board List). In addition to those members who continue to serve in their current roles, several new board members were elected by the ISRs at the November 2023 meeting. And, because there were not enough candidates to fill all the open Board positions, at the January meeting, the Board appointed four members to fill those roles on an interim basis - Chair, Treasurer, Web Coordinator, and Spanish Liaison. We are grateful to all those who have stepped up for Board service.

Kudos also to the fabulous team who keep everything on track, on time and moving forward at the San Diego Al-Anon/Alateen Information Service office. Thank you to Rina (Office Assistant), to Steph (IT) and to Laura H (Interim Office Manager). I look forward to working with the Board and this great administrative team throughout the coming year.

Finally, there are two important events coming up (please see flyers for full details):

• Southern California World Service Area’s Sharing of Service Workshop on Saturday, January 20th from 9AM to 4PM. Tom Coffey, Associate Director of Literature at the WSO will be the featured speaker and the workshop is a great way to meet new friends while learning about opportunities for service. This is an on-line event with Spanish translation.

• Our very own GleeAnon takes place Saturday, February 24. This fundraising event supports the San Diego Al-Anon/Alateen Information Service (SD AIS) office and Public Outreach. Please join us and have some laughs while supporting local outreach!

To all of you - thank you for supporting the San Diego AIS Board and Office through your service and your individual and group contributions!

“By giving something back, I give thanks for what I’ve received, and in giving thanks for what I’ve received, I make room to receive more.” - When I Got Busy, I Got Better

Message From Your Board

PLEASE READ THIS AT YOUR MEETINGS - IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE SAN DIEGO AIS BOARD

Our San Diego AIS Board has four unfilled positions:

  • Office Chair

  • Spanish Liaison

  • Chair

  • Treasurer.

We cannot operate in 2024 without a Chair and Treasurer.

Please read this message and ask your group if anyone at this meeting is interested in being of service to our Board for 2024? If anyone is interested, please provide them with my information.

Thank you for your service!

Message From Your Board

Dear Fellow Al-Anon Members,

The Southern California World Service (SCWS) Group Representatives (GRs) voted at the November 2022 Assembly to accept electronic meetings within our Southern California geographic area.

Per WSO and SCWS, if your meeting is listed as a Temporary Electronic Meeting (TEM), it is time to either return to in-person meetings or change your location to an Electronic Group (EG). This is a location change only, and your group remains connected to the same city, state, zip code, district, and Al-Anon Information Service (AIS).

If you have questions or want to hear about electronic groups' other choices, please email [email protected] or [email protected].

Message From Your Board

Dear Grateful Al-Anon Members,

Your San Diego Al-Anon/Alateen Information Service office and board have been working hard this year on making Al-Anon and Alateen more accessible via our website and social media, establishing new meetings, and creating awareness to more diversified communities through public outreach and events. Your contributions are critical for our continued expansion.

In September, we launched our Non-Event Fundraiser, designed to be a personal contribution of gratitude to our local office. Even if you have already sent a contribution, we ask you to consider an additional contribution, as our goal for this appeal has not yet reached what we had hoped.

 
 

We also ask that you announce our Non-Event Fundraiser at your meetings as soon as possible before our fundraiser ends on Sunday, November 6. Just click on the above link or go to www.AlanonSanDiego.org and click on the pink button. Group contributions are welcome and very appreciated.

Please help us reach those who are still suffering. We thank you in advance for your service and contributions.

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

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!

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
