Area Archives Coordinator Enjoy scrap booking? We need someone to preserve 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 (eg, 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.

Lifelines Coordinator The Lifelines Coordinator determines the type of submissions that will be accepted and establishes a due date for submissions; copy edits submissions for spelling, grammar, and punctuation and makse sure we use consistent terminology; encourages members to make it their newsletter by submitting information, reports, and service sharings. The Lifelines Coordinator (along with the E-mail Coordinator, described below) also helps maintain a list of Lifelines e-mail subscribers through our secure announcements list (using Yahoo), adding and updating members’ e-mail addresses.

Office Manager The Office Manager ensures that our Area Office on Rolfe Street runs smoothly, making sure it is fully stocked with office supplies and coordinating the volunteers who man office hours, answering the phones, following up on messages, and filling literature order.

Area Office Workers Anyone interested in service can volunteer in the Area Office. There is a need for someone to open the office, answer phones, and return calls. Please consider this as an opportunity to show your support for our invaluable program.

Public Outreach Committee The public outreach coordinator is looking for members to serve on the Public Outreach Committee. He is also looking for any members who know sign language. He can be reached through email at treedoc101@cox.net.

Alateen sponsors We are in need of Al-Anon members willing to become Alateen sponsors. Double winners welcomed to serve as Alateen sponsors.  Please contact the Al-Anon office 781-0044 and leave a message for Marie.

Traveling overseas? Consider attending a meeting, bringing CAL with you, etc. Send WSO (and RI Area!) a note about where you've been and how you brought public outreach with you. For more information on public service opportunities and programs, please contact the office (401-781-0044) and leave a message for Steve.
