The office will be closed Monday February 18th, for President’s Day.

We will be back Tuesday am as usual.  See you then.

Thank you all very much for the support and help you have given the Dallas Intergroup Office in 2012.  I would love to see more members join the Dallas Intergroup Association and participate in our Intergroup meetings.  Do you know if your group is a member of the Intergroup?  If your group does not attend IG Rep meetings, you are not a member.  It is quite easy to become a member.  That is the good news.  As a member of the Dallas Intergroup Association you have monthly updates on the office, the DIA Board, upcoming events, committee needs and more.  Please consider joining us.  A group can join the Intergroup by sending a letter or email letting me know you want to be a member and then sending an Intergroup Rep to our meetings on the second Thursday of every month at 8pm.  For more information email the Director at janis@aadallas.org or any of our Board Members.  We will be happy to help.

Many thanks to all the Intergroup Reps that attended November’s meeting to elect five new members of the DIA Board.  And thanks for bringing enough desserts to feed a hundred people!!  We will be saying good-bye to some very hard working trustees in December:  The board members rotating off will be :

Larry J., Peggy W., Melissa G., Brandy B., and Christy S. (Mike L had to resign earlier in the year)

Thank you all for your service to the Dallas Intergroup.  You will be missed.

Second Year Members are:  Pat Mc, Dave C, Joe P. and Ralph S. (who took over a vacancy)

New Members include:

Rick P. Clean Air North Group

Molly J.  Cornerstone Group

Chris S.  Lambda Group

Kris Mc.   Dallas Big Book Group

Their information will be posted in January after a new Chairman is elected and the committees have been chosen.

Welcome to the incoming Board members!!!

(a full list of Board Members is always available via your Intergroup Reps or the Rep page.)

Well, we tried the late night Wednesdays, but had little to no increase in business, so we are working on being open on all Saturdays.  It will depend on the availability of volunteers and a temporary staff move to accommodate the change.  When we figure out exactly how to cover all four Saturdays we will let you all know.

The Grapevine has come out with yet another new book!  This one is titled:  Happy, Joyous and Free; The Lighter Side of Sobriety. This collection is about learning to laugh in sobriety.  Full of early mistakes, navigating drinking events, funny things sponsors say, interesting 12th Step calls, holiday adventures and more.  The stories remind us not to take ourselves so seriously!  The book is available for $10.
