Delegate’s Final Report

Come hear all about the 72nd General Service Conference! Jennifer B., Area Delegate, will share what she saw, heard and felt at the conference in New York. Q&A to follow. This is a great way to learn about actions that will soon be taken in A.A. Details in the flyer.

Join One of These Collaboration Efforts

In California Northern Coastal Area (CNCA), several service committees are meeting to learn from each other about how to better serve our primary purpose in A.A. These service committees include: Public Information and Cooperation With the Professional Community (PI/CPC), Hospitals and Institutions (H&I), Bridging the Gap and Accessibilities. You do not have to be a committee member to participate. June 9 @ 7pm. 
 

In a similar effort around sharing ideas, East Bay Intergroup is leading a national working group to serve our primary purpose in the digital age. The group comprises current and past members of PI/CPC, Technology, and Treatment and Corrections committees. They’ve created tutorials for webmasters and held classes for groups to help them become more accessible online. Anyone interested can join—you don’t have to be a tech expert to help! June 11 @ 9am.

Starting June 1, Central Office has changed its regular hours of operation. It is now open Tuesday to Friday 10-6pm and Saturdays 12-4pm. Visit us at 1821 Sacramento St. (cross street Van Ness) to pick up A.A. literature and sobriety medallions.
