Dear Al-Anon Friends,
We are excited to announce the upcoming GleeAnon Al-Anon Musical - a fundraising event supporting our San Diego County Al-Anon Information Service Office (SDC AISO). This event occurs on February 24, 2024, at 7:00 PM in Del Mar. Details are outlined in the Calendar of Events below and the attached flyer. Please join us for an evening of fun, fellowship, and surprises!
The SDC AISO board would like to encourage all San Diego service area groups to participate in decisions impacting the local office and its outreach efforts by having a dedicated Information Service Representative (ISR). ISRs are the conduit for information between the SDC AISO board and your Group. If your Group does not have an ISR, please discuss this in your next business meeting and encourage participation. The commitment is only 90 minutes six times a year on a Saturday morning. We need valuable input from the Groups and hope to see more ISRs at the March 9, 2024 meeting.
Thank you for supporting the San Diego office!
Cindi H., Interim Chair

Dear San Diego County Al-Anon Members,
Happy New Year - and welcome to 2024! I’d like to thank the following members who are stepping down fromthe Board after completing several years of service: Kelly SH (Ex-Officio), Kristen S (Office Chair) and Hilda A (Spanish Liaison). We are truly grateful for their service.
Moving forward, there are several changes on the Board (as noted above in the 2024 Service Board List). In addition to those members who continue to serve in their current roles, several new board members were elected by the ISRs at the November 2023 meeting. And, because there were not enough candidates to fill all the open Board positions, at the January meeting, the Board appointed four members to fill those roles on an interim basis - Chair, Treasurer, Web Coordinator, and Spanish Liaison. We are grateful to all those who have stepped up for Board service.
Kudos also to the fabulous team who keep everything on track, on time and moving forward at the San Diego Al-Anon/Alateen Information Service office. Thank you to Rina (Office Assistant), to Steph (IT) and to Laura H (Interim Office Manager). I look forward to working with the Board and this great administrative team throughout the coming year.
Finally, there are two important events coming up (please see flyers for full details):
• Southern California World Service Area’s Sharing of Service Workshop on Saturday, January 20th from 9AM to 4PM. Tom Coffey, Associate Director of Literature at the WSO will be the featured speaker and the workshop is a great way to meet new friends while learning about opportunities for service. This is an on-line event with Spanish translation.
• Our very own GleeAnon takes place Saturday, February 24. This fundraising event supports the San Diego Al-Anon/Alateen Information Service (SD AIS) office and Public Outreach. Please join us and have some laughs while supporting local outreach!
To all of you - thank you for supporting the San Diego AIS Board and Office through your service and your individual and group contributions!
