2016 Fund Drive is Here

The 2016 Fund Drive is gearing up and we need to meet with our Captains and Helpers to go over the information packets needed in March when the Pledge Drive begins.

Without the help of our members, we would be unable to function as a Central Office and provide the services that are so vital to the suffering alcoholic and to the recovering AA community.

Operating Committee Members will be available to set up individual meetings in their Areas and answer any questions about the Fund Drive. They will then give out packets containing pledge slips, the printouts of your territory, a suggested talk and the forms for recording collections to members participating in the Drive.

If you are interested in participating as a captain or a helper, please call David at the office and we will have your Area Committee Member get in touch with you. Thank you for your continued support.
