Message From Your Board

Dear Grateful Al-Anon Members,

Your San Diego Al-Anon/Alateen Information Service office and board have been working hard this year on making Al-Anon and Alateen more accessible via our website and social media, establishing new meetings, and creating awareness to more diversified communities through public outreach and events. Your contributions are critical for our continued expansion.

In September, we launched our Non-Event Fundraiser, designed to be a personal contribution of gratitude to our local office. Even if you have already sent a contribution, we ask you to consider an additional contribution, as our goal for this appeal has not yet reached what we had hoped.

 
 

We also ask that you announce our Non-Event Fundraiser at your meetings as soon as possible before our fundraiser ends on Sunday, November 6. Just click on the above link or go to www.AlanonSanDiego.org and click on the pink button. Group contributions are welcome and very appreciated.

Please help us reach those who are still suffering. We thank you in advance for your service and contributions.

Trenta

Vice Chairperson Al-Anon San Diego

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
