Al‑Anon Participates in Alcoholics Anonymous Annual Day of Sharing

The annual Day of Sharing was created by the General Service Office (GSO) of Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.) to bring together various Twelve‑Step organizations, including Al‑Anon, in a spirit of unity and fellowship. The organizational leadership from each group is invited. Al‑Anon’s participation in this event reflects the spiritual principles found in Tradition Six, which emphasize maintaining the focus on our primary spiritual aim of helping families and friends of alcoholics and encouraging cooperation with A.A.

Literature at the Library

Does your local library carry any Al‑Anon Conference Approved Literature (CAL)? Libraries regularly purge materials that don’t get checked out often, so you can help keep CAL in circulation by borrowing it from the library and encouraging others to do so. If you want to donate CAL to your local library, check their requirements first and keep in mind that books in pristine condition are more likely to make it to the shelves.
