Service

From the Intergroup Chair: November is Gratitude Month, it is a time for reflection and appreciation; which can be expressed through service to others. Service that can range from reaching out to a newcomer, supporting the 7th Tradition, and/or by attending an AA meeting. And in that spirit of gratitude, the Intergroup Office Community wishes all of you a gracious and sober Thanksgiving Holiday.

Final Thought:

"What we all have in common is that the program helps us find an inner strength that we were previously unaware of - where we differ is how we identify the source."
