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].

Sandra L.
