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

Web Coordinator

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.
