Click on any of the committees below to see how you can get involved. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and to "CARRY THE MESSAGE TO THE ALCOHOLIC WHO STILL SUFFERS". Giving back is a wonderful way to take your sobriety to the next level.
- The Cooperation With the Professional Community (CPC) Committee is responsible for helping professionals understand A.A.
- Interphones answers the phones when the Intergroup office is closed.
- Our Prison Committee carries the message of recovery to alcoholics who are incarcerated. Further, they arrange temporary contacts for prisoners who are being released.
- SEPIA's Public Information Committee informs the public about A.A.'s purpose, and what A.A. is and is not.
- The Treatment Facilities Committee carries the message to rehabs, hospitals and halfway houses.
- Our Unity Committee helps with the monthly Intergroup Rep's meeting, holds an annual Unity picnic, and helps explain Intergoup to groups that request a Unity pitch.
- The Archives Committee is the caretaker of the history of A.A. in our area.
- Special Events plans Intergroup's two annual fundraisers, the Round Up and the annual Dinner Dance.
"Our Twelfth Step-carrying the message-is the basic service that the A.A. Fellowship gives; this is our principal aim and the main reason for our existence. Therefore, A.A. is more than a set of principles; it is a society of alcoholics in action. We must carry the message, else we ourselves can wither and those who haven't been given the truth may die.
Hence, an A.A. Service is anything whatever that helps us to reach a fellow sufferer-ranging all the way from the Twelfth Step itself to a ten-cent phone call and a cup of coffee, and to A.A.'s General Service Office for national and international action. The sum total of all these services is our Third Legacy of Service.
Services include meeting places, hospital cooperation, and intergroup offices; they mean pamphlets, books and good publicity of every description. They call for committees, delegates, trustees, and conferences. And, not to be forgotten, they need voluntary money contributions from the fellowship."
