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

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,
