Service Committees of Area 84

Cooperation with The Professional Community and Public Information

Like all of A.A., the primary purpose of members involved with public

information service is to carry the A.A. message to the alcoholic who

still suffers. Working together, members of local Public Information

committees convey A.A. information to the general public, including

the media.

Remote Communities

In 2000 the Delegate for Area 84 responded to calls to share the

A.A. Program with our Northern neighbours. 

District #4 has undertaken the task of bringing the message of hope

to suffering men and women who live where roads are seasonal at best

and the nearest InterGroup is 800 miles away.

 Last year (2003) we as an Area of Alcoholics Anonymous,

unanimously agreed to increase both our financial and personal support

to provide to those...that which was so freely given to us.

Correctional Facililities Committee

The purpose of a correctional facilities committee is to coordinate

the work of individual A.A. members and groups who are interested

in carrying our message of recovery to alcoholics behind the walls,

and to set up means of smoothing the way from the facility to the

larger A.A. community through prerelease contacts.

Treatment Facilities Committee

Treatment facilities committees are formed to coordinate the work

of individual A.A. members and groups who are interested in carrying

our message of recovery to alcoholics in treatment facilities,

and to set up means of “bridging the gap” from the facility to an A.A.

group in the individual’s community.  (Email: Treatment Facilities Chairperson)

 

 

Archives Committee

Whenever a society or civilization perishes there is always

one condition present; they forgot where they came from.

Carl Sandburg

Like any other A.A. service, the primary purpose of those involved in

archival work is to carry the message of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Archives service work is more than mere custodial activity; it is the

means by which we collect, preserve and share the rich and meaningful

heritage of our Fellowship. It is by the collection and sharing of

these important historical elements that our collective gratitude for

Alcoholics Anonymous is deepened. (Email: Archives Chairperson)
