DISTRICT HIGHLIGHTS:
Please welcome our NEW Group Records Coordinator: Tina M.
“Hello, my name is Tina M. and I am the new Group Records Coordinator. I started my journey in Al-Anon Sept 22, 2023 and am currently the secretary in my home group: The Open Minded AFG in Salem. I am very excited to take on a new service role and am looking forward to working with all groups. Thank you.” - Tina M.
Your service can make a difference! Service is one way we put Al-Anon’s principles into practice. Districts 4 and 9 are looking for members to fill these open positions:
District 4 Representative
Alternate District 4 Representative
District 9 Representative
Training will be provided. District Representatives must have two years of experience as a Group Representative.
If you’ve served in one of these roles before, please consider serving again. New volunteers are welcome, too!
