Message From Your Board

Dear Fellow Al-Anon Members,

The Southern California World Service (SCWS) Group Representatives (GRs) voted at the November 2022 Assembly to accept electronic meetings within our Southern California geographic area.

Per WSO and SCWS, if your meeting is listed as a Temporary Electronic Meeting (TEM), it is time to either return to in-person meetings or change your location to an Electronic Group (EG). This is a location change only, and your group remains connected to the same city, state, zip code, district, and Al-Anon Information Service (AIS).

If you have questions or want to hear about electronic groups' other choices, please email [email protected] or [email protected].

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
