Greetings!
  
Reflection to start 2012 with:
If we focus on success we will probably forget about living. If we focus on living and doing what we love, we have a good chance at being successful!

We hope our newletter finds happy, enjoying the holidays and grateful for your blessings! 

CD's of the W.A. World Conference held in October are available to purchase on our website, see below for the website link.

Our L.A. groups represented W.A. at The Evolution Of Addiction Treatment Conference this month, see more below.

Great Outreach Opportunity for W.A.!

Our L.A. groups came together and managed a W.A. booth for 2 1/2 days at a large conference in L.A. earlier this month called "The Evolution of Addiction Treatment" that had over 525 registrants. They met many people at the conference that had never heard of W.A. . They were able talk to many folks and
to distribute our literature and sold some books. Lets give them a BIG hand!  Thank you so much L.A. W.A. for helping spread the word!!
If you know of any outreach opportunities in your area please let us know!

& Meeting Development Committee! 

 

Check out the Group Support section on the W.A. website.  

 

There are helpful tools and materials available here that you can download for your group; meeting formats, types of meetings, tips on outreach, W.A. Public Awareness Guidelines, archives to news letters and much more!

W.A. also has a Meeting Development committee to offer more ongoing support to new and existing groups.

 

This committee reaches out to members in groups around the world to help them continue to build a strong meeting and local fellowship. Each committee member is assigned meeting contacts in regional areas.  

 

We are looking for more W.A. members to volunteer to help "sponsor" a group and offer them support and make sure they know about our new Group Support section on the website. This is a wonderful way to provide service and get to know other W.A. members around the world! 

 

Please contribute what you can for your meetings. :)

W.A operates on contributions from it's members and literature sales. Please don't forget to go online and make a contribution to W.A. if you only go to phone meetings. You can click here donate.
