At the recent Area Assembly, we elected a new panel of service members to the Rhode Island Area World Service Committee (AWSC). They begin their 3-year term on January 1, 2012. Although most offices were filled, the following two positions still remain open. These positions are vital to keeping Al-Anon running in Rhode Island.  If you are interested in stepping up to service please attend the next Area World Service Committee on January 28th at the area office. 

Alternate Area Delegate The Alternate Delegate works along with the Delegate as much as possible in communicating with the groups and acquaints him/herself
with all the Delegate's duties, so that if the Delegate is unable to finish her three-year term, the Alternate can step in to complete it.. Qualifications to serve as Alternate Delegate are: an active Al-Anon member who is an outgoing or current District Representative or former District Representative who has remained active in service at the Area level, an outgoing or current Assembly officer (Chair, Secretary or Treasurer), and is not also a member of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Area Archives Coordinator The Area Archives Coordinator preserves the experience, history, and memorabilia of the RI AFG. The Coordinator may head up an Archives Committee, which would be responsible for researching the history of Al-Anon in RI. Our archive materials are currently at the Area office. They need to be organized, dated, catalogued, and preserved using archival methods (e.g., acid free paper, boxes). Anonymity is stressed when displaying photographs that might identify individual members. The materials collected can be displayed at workshops, assemblies, group anniversaries, or public information displays.
