Handling Temporary Closures

Is the facility where your group holds its meetings closing temporarily? Here are some steps you can take to ensure newcomers are made aware of the closure so they can come back later and find Al‑Anon’s help.

Put a sign on the door.
Submit an Al‑Anon Group Records Change Form and add a note in the location instructions so it can be displayed on the al-anon.org meeting search.
Notify your local Al‑Anon Information Service so they can update their listings as well.

Policy Committee Thought Force Needs Your Help

A Thought Force of your World Service Office (WSO) Policy Committee is looking for help. As part of the Knowledge‑Based Decision‑Making (KBDM) process, the Thought Force is seeking some answers to the question, “What you wish you knew but didn’t,” regarding the topic of concern.

You are invited to participate and share this survey with members of your group to encourage their participation as well, consistent with Concept Four. The survey should take less than ten minutes to complete.

Please complete the survey prior to 5 pm ET, Thursday, November 30, 2023.

Leaving Al‑Anon a Bequest

Many Al‑Anon members have designated Al‑Anon Family Group Headquarters, Inc. as a beneficiary in their will, in gratitude for the help given by our fellowship during their lifetime. Designating a bequest to Al‑Anon Family Group Headquarters, Inc. is one way to ensure that our program will be there for future generations.
