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,
