Office Report
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
Al-Anon Information Service Board

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!
