Where can I purchase A.A. literature?

Thu, 20 Sep 2007 22:43:00 GMT

The South Sound Service Center has most literature at the Tumwater office. The Central Service Office for District 8. The new office location has lots of parking and easy access.

We encourage everyone to order A.A. literature from the nearest Central Office or Intergroup Office. The General Service Office cooperates closely with these offices, which are the best resource for A.A. literature and information.

If you are unable to reach your local Central Office or Intergroup Office, please contact the General Service Office to request a catalog and order form at:

Should our group have a checking or savings account?

Thu, 20 Sep 2007 22:41:00 GMT

Some groups are so small that there is no problem with handling the contributions. With other groups it can be a large responsibility.

The pamphlet The A.A. Group Treasurer has some valuable information. As always the guidelines are a great resource and Self Support: Where Money and Spirituality Mix (F-3) is the third resource to help groups and their treasurers. The Guideline for Finance MG-15, has a wealth of information on Tax Numbers, Tax Dedutions, etc.

These three pieces of service information can save a group from the pitfalls that some groups only find when the problem has already happened. They are all available at your Intergroup or Central Service Office. In District 8 the South Sound Service Center has a large stock of these available.

What is the A.A. program?

Thu, 20 Sep 2007 22:37:00 GMT

The A.A. program, set forth in our Twelve Steps, offers the alcoholic a way to develop a satisfying life without alcohol.
