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.
Yours in service,
