Office News

From the Chairwoman Dear Intergroup Reps & the Fellowship of NEMDAA, It has come to my attention that the Intergroup is in need of financial support. As the cost of literature & office supplies has gone up, donations have fallen off. I have enclosed the QR reader in an email to the fellowship that is connected to PayPal to donate and pay for literature/ medallions in the office. Please print this out & put it in the basket, mount on the wall or otherwise make it available to the fellowship & encourage recurring contributions so that we keep providing the bulletin, website & literature needed to get the message out to the still suffering alcoholic. Your trusted servant, Carol.
