Reminder: New Hours for Central Office + Volunteers Needed!
As of Tuesday, July 6th, Central Office began opening from 10am to 6pm, and shifted its days of operation to Tuesday – Saturday.
There are still open volunteer shifts at Central Office! Each shift is 2 hours long, and we need your help filling them. There is a one-year sobriety requirement and responsibilities include welcoming visitors and callers, answering questions about bookstore items, assisting with website navigation, offering details about meetings, service committees, staying current with The Buzz and more. Training and coffee provided. :)
If you would like to take a commitment, please contact us for information on orientation.
Speaking of Volunteers… HelpChat Needs You!
For those who haven’t heard, HelpChat is a chat service through the aasfmarin.org website where many people have their first interaction with a sober member of A.A. There’s lots of room in the schedule for new volunteers! Interested members with at least one year of continuous sobriety can volunteer to answer chats.
HelpChat’s monthly orientations are held every 3rd Tuesday from 5-6pm. The next orientation and business meeting will be on July 20th, this coming Tuesday. Email [email protected] for meeting ID and info.
The Plug for Service Continues…with Teleservice!
SF Teleservice still needs volunteers to help keep the phone lines answered 24/7. What greater way is there to feel more a part of than getting a commitment on the front lines of A.A.? One-year of continuous sobriety required. Orientations are always held on the 3rd Monday of every month @ 6pm. The next orientation is this coming Monday, July 19th, in-person at Central Office. Please email sfteleservice@aasfmarin.
Marin Teleservice holds their new volunteer orientations every 4th Tuesday of the month @ 6:30pm. The next orientation is on Tuesday, July 27th, in-person at the Marin Alano Club! Check out the website at marinteleservice.net.
