To keep pace with changing times and practice good financial stewardship, the Board is launching a six-month evaluation period to determine the viability of some modern updates. Here is what is happening:

• Public Outreach: The Webmaster is updating the website, adding an online Help Contact Form, and simplifying meeting searches – making it much easier for newcomers, professionals, and members to find information and support. The District 3 Outreach Coordinator has launched a new Instagram page, enhancing our Social Media presence.
• Literature Ordering is Moving Online: Group Literature Coordinators can now purchase Conference Approved Literature (CAL) through our new Online Bookstore on our website. Volunteers will assemble the orders at the Literature Center for scheduled in-store pickup (please note that shipping is not available). Groups can still choose to buy directly from WSO. In store purchasing is still available.

The most important thing to remember is that this is just a trial. Reaching out to families and friends of alcoholics remains at the heart of everything we do.

During this six-month trial, the Board will share performance metrics periodically. At the end of the evaluation, complete data will be presented to the fellowship, and our Group will have a voice and a vote on any final recommendation.”

Our Request: We ask that your groups maintain their current  support as we carefully conduct this collaborative review.
