Service Opportunities
Service will keep you sober!
There are opportunities that require only as much of your time that you want to give:
The Public Information/Cooperation with the Professional Community (PI/CPC) Committee needs members who will pick up AA literature from the Chair and deliver it to various locations around District 2 (Burlington). Contact John M., PI/CPC Committee Chair, if you'd like to help! 802-923-0114 or pi@burlingtonaa.org
District Committee Chairs and members needed in both Districts 2 & 11. The following Chair positions are open:
--in District 2: Answering Service, Eye Opener, Treatment
--in District 11: Answering Service
And you can get active on any of the District committees without being the chair! Come to a monthly District Business meeting to find out more (dates & times on
Home page).
Corrections:
--Write stories of recovery for a monthly newsletter, “A New Freedom,” which gets sent into all correctional facilities in VT and put on tablets for residents to read. Guidelines: 600-800 words, but no story turned down. Also, you don't need to have been in corrections. All stories of recovery are needed to carry the message. If you have a story to share (we all do!) please send to Tammy W, Area Corrections Chair: area70corrections@aavt.org
--Write letters to/from incarcerated men at the St. Johnsbury facility.
--Bring AA meetings into the St. Johnsbury men's facility. If you know anyone closer to that area, please pass along this need.
--Pass on your old Grapevines to residents in the women's facility in South Burlington.
--For more information about any of the Corrections service opportunities, please contact Charlie P, District 2 Corrections Chair (corrections@burlingtonaa.org), or Tammy W, Area Corrections Chair (area70corrections@aavt.org)
