Our Responsibility Statement

 

I am responsible

 

When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, I want the hand of A.A. always to be there.  And for that; I am responsible

Cooperation with the Professional / Public Information Committees

We meet monthly on the second Saturday at COGF in the Area 53 room at 11:00am

How to get involved...

The Cooperation with the Professional Committee and the Public information Committee is A.A.’s Official Contact with the Professionals

 and the Members in the Area 53 area.

What We Do …

 AA Public Information has one ultimate goal,  and it is the same as that of every AA group and every type of service work;  To carry the message the alcoholic who still suffers.  But Public information tries to reach the alcoholic indirectly, as well as directly, in three ways:

 

1. By informing the general public about the AA program

 

2. By information “the third person: whose work is or may be involved with the active alcoholic

 

3. By keeping the fellowship well informed, so that members and groups may carry the message more effectively.

Why We Do It…

 

Much of the public has not had the opportunity to find out how the AA Program works.  The are a great many misconceptions about AA in the public eye.

Unless we inform the public, many practicing alcoholics may never find us.

 

The PI committee is prepared to meet any group of individuals that would like information about what AA is and what it is not.

How We Do It…

 

Our Methods Will Employ:

 

·          Letters

·          Direct Calls

·          Panels

·          Presentation

 

“The Public” Can Include:

 

·          Students

·          Senior Citizens

·          Church Groups

·          Neighborhood Organizations

·          Health Fair Organizations

·          Youth Groups/Organization

What We Need…

 

Some good AA members who would like to donate a little time or a lot to experience the excitement and fulfillment of carrying the message in the capacity!

There are many ways to get involved even if you do not wish to call on the public face to face.  The behind-the-scenes work exhibits the same rewards, and is necessary if we are to carry the message
