Public Outreach Funding Clarification:
Due to a misunderstanding it had been announced that Public Outreach
could not accept direct funding from groups. This is issue is under
review and GRs and interested members will have an opportunity to
participate in a workshop on the subject at the AWSC meeting on May 5,
2012. IN THE MEANTIME, please
consider it "Business as usual" and include Public Outreach when
disbursing your excess funds, if your group chooses to do so.
Public Outreach is always in needs of funds for the work that is
ongoing. These funds are mainly used for the purchase of literature
(books and pamphlets) that are used to spread the word about Al-Anon
and Alateen to those still suffering.

Al-Anon DAy 2012:
A member is needed to take on the fabulous service opportunity of
Al-Anon Day 2012 Chairperson. If someone doesn't step up by December
31, 2011 then we will have no event. What a shame it would be if we
did'nt have that day to celebrate our amazing fellowship who has given
us soo much. To see if you're qualifed to be a Chairperson, ask
yourself the following questions...
Do you believe service is a valuable part of our fellowship?
Do you like having fun?
If you answered YES, then you can be the next Chairperson! Yay!! Contact the Provincial Assembly Chairperson at president@al-anon-alateen-qc.ca
