Message From Your Board
Dear Al-Anon Friends,
I look forward to seeing you at the San Diego County AIS Office for our annual Birthday Celebration fundraising event on May 25, 2024, from 1pm to 4pm. In addition to fellowship and a fabulous cake, we will have three speakers (Al-Anon, Alateen, and Spanish-speaking Al-Anon) sharing their experiences, strengths, and hopes. Plus, the office will be open for literature sales.
On behalf of our board, we again ask everyone to consider participating in service above the group level. Service is the heart of Al-Anon, and we need your voice at the table. If your Group does not have a GR or an ISR, please discuss this in your next business meeting and encourage participation.
Thank you for supporting your San Diego office,
Cindi H, Board Chair

Dear Al-Anon Friends,
Thank you for your continued support of the Al-Anon Area Information Service (AIS) Office Board. We strive to support the San Diego Al-Anon and Alateen community by having Conference Approved Literature available and maintaining an accessible AIS office where members feel supported and welcomed. Our website is constantly updated with meeting information and resources. In fact, did you know ...
... our website includes a Google Translate button in the upper left-hand corner to translate the website into Spanish?
... there are dedicated Alateen resources available on the website?
... the Intercom is available for free? It lists upcoming special events, speaker meetings, meeting updates, and more. Please encourage your Al-Anon and Alateen friends to sign up.
Be sure to check out our website at WWW.ALANONSANDIEGO.ORG.
Next, mark your calendars to join us at the San Diego County AIS Office for our annual Birthday Celebration fundraising event on May 25, 2024, from 1pm to 4pm. Three speakers (Al-Anon, Alateen, and Spanish-speaking Al-Anon) will share their experiences, strengths, and hopes. The office will be open for literature sales, and we will have two birthday cakes! We hope to see you there.
Finally, please consider participating in service above the group level. Service is the heart of Al-Anon, and we need your voice at the table. If your Group does not have a GR or an ISR, please discuss this in your next business meeting and encourage participation.
