Intergroup News

The following news was shared at San Francisco and Marin Intergroup’s June 5 meeting. Please take this back to your group and any other A.A. meetings you attend.

• Intergroup updated our 2023 Annual Report financials after an independent review by our CPA. While the correction was relatively minor, Intergroup ended the year with a slight surplus rather than a deficit. This surplus has not continued and Intergroup is now facing a small deficit. We are asking groups to send in 7th Tradition contributions more frequently and A.A. members to dig a little deeper in support of your local Intergroup.
   

• Sign up to become a Grateful Giver by contributing to San Francisco and Marin Intergroup on a monthly basis. Or, if you are already a Grateful Giver, please consider upping your monthly contribution to support Intergroup’s 12th Step work. These recurring contributions are a consistent source of revenue Intergroup relies on.
   

• Central Office Volunteers are needed to answer the phone lines, greet customers, and assist with special projects. Minimum of one year sobriety. For more information about a weekly two-hour shift opportunity, please email [email protected].
