Chairing Treatment Facility Meetings
We need AA members to chair AA meetings at hospitals, treatment facilities, and other institutions that work with alcoholics across the Chatham-Kent area. Typical responsibilities include chairing meetings and arranging speakers. Time commitments vary depending on the needs of facilities. A minimum of one year of continuous sobriety is suggested for this service opportunity.

Bridging the Gap
AA members are needed to help newcomers transition from treatment to AA meetings and the fellowship. This is a short term relationship to help newly sober alcoholics become established in an AA group and find sponsorship. Suggested activities include contacting the newcomer before they leave treatment, taking them to a variety of meetings (especially on his/her first day out of treatment), introducing him/her to as many other AA members as possible, encouraging him/her to get phone numbers of other AA members, inviting him/her to coffee or other fellowship activities, and talking with him/her about the importance of sponsorship, a home group, and literature.
