3 A Message from the Steering Committee With the help of A.A. Members like you, New York Inter-Group plays a crucial role in facilitating Alcoholics Anonymous 12 Step work. Perhaps your first contact with the Hand of A.A. was a phone call to Inter- Group. Or perhaps you are now one of many who volunteer at Inter-Group to answer phones, help keep the meeting list updated, provide information about A.A. to students and professionals about A.A., and carry the message to thousands currently residing in corrections and treatment centers. But Inter-Group s financial condition has been deteriorating. Despite a number of corrective measures, the Prudent Reserve has fallen below 50%, and NYIG may be forced to make service cuts in the next 6 months. Fortunately, you can help save this vital service body. If you are able, please consider a contribution, which can be made online, or you can send in a check to NYIG. If half of the A.A. s in the Greater New York Area make a recurring donation of 5 dollars per month, Inter-Group s Prudent Reserve will reach 100% within 4 months. Please Treasurer@nyintergroup.org for more information or call on how you can join us to help. New York Inter-Group is an association formed by the Greater New York Area groups of Alcoholics Anonymous to help fulfill their primary purpose to carry the A.A. message to the still sick and suffering alcoholic. NYIG is often the first contact point for people who think they may have a problem with alcohol. The phones are answered solely by A.A. member volunteers daily from 9:00am to 10:00pm every day of the year, and from 10:00pm to 2:00am, calls are forwarded to volunteers via Call- Forwarding. During the hours of 2:00am to 9:00am, messages are recorded on an answering machine and are responded to the next day. What is New York Inter-Group? Volunteers provide meeting information for callers in the five boroughs of New York, Westchester County, and the greater New York area. The Office provides A.A. information about other Inter -Group/ Central Offices throughout the country, and internationally. New York Inter-Group is financed solely by contributions from A.A. groups, Individual A.A. members, Anniversary Club donations, Faithful Fivers, sales of A.A. Conference Approved literature, and net proceeds from the Annual Bill W. Dinner. New York Inter-Group s service structure is explained in its By-Laws, which are operating guidelines required by the laws of the State of New York for incorporated not-for-profit organizations. The Inter -Group Association of A.A. Steering Committee (fourteen members) is responsible for the fiduciary requirements and oversees the tax-exempt status. The Steering Committee consists of four officers, six area representatives, and four representatives of the following committees: 1) CTFC (Corrections and Treatment Facilities), 2) Group Relations, 3) Public Information 4) Volunteer. The NY Inter-Group Office is the communications center for A.A. groups, now over 1450, in the greater New York area for events and matters concerning A.A. as a whole. New York Inter-Group requests that each meeting listed in the 5 Boroughs (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Staten Island, Queens) and Westchester designate a Delegate. Inter-Group Delegates meet quarterly in Manhattan with the New York Inter-Group Steering Committee after the Exchange (Booking) Meetings. At these meetings Delegates hear reports of New York Inter-Group s activities and vote on topics affecting New York Inter Group operations Delegates Meetings will be held on March 10, June 9, September 8, December 8. New York Inter-Group sponsors four quarterly Westchester Booking Meetings a year. The 2018 booking meetings will be held on Saturday, February 17, May 19, August 18, and November 17. Delegates also attend Area Forums sponsored by New York Inter-Group which are held bi-monthly. Area Representatives are elected by the Area Forum to represent them to New York Inter-Group s Steering Committee. 2

Bridging the Gap AA is here for you after treatment Call Bridging the Gap at and a member of Alcoholics Anonymous will meet you at an A.A. Meeting. We can help you with any questions you may have about A.A. and you can meet people who live without drinking alcohol One Day at a time. Our Twelfth Step carrying the message is the basic service that the AA Fellowship gives; this is our principal aim and the main reason for our existence. Therefore, AA is more than a set of principles; it is a society of alcoholics in action. We must carry the message, else we ourselves can wither, and those who haven't been given the truth may die. (From AA's Legacy of Service, The AA Service Manual, page S1.) 6

8 2018 CTFC Dinner Dance To Fund A.A. Literature for Corrections and Institutions Saturday, July 28 th, :00pm to 1:00am Antun s Springfield Boulevard, Queens Village, NY, Tickets are $85.00 and can be purchased at the NY Inter-Group Office. Call for more information or if you would like printed announcements for your group. The Pink Can The Pink Can is a way for groups to collect spare change for the purchase of AA literature for those who are confined or hospitalized. It is a request for additional contributions, in the same way some groups pass the 7th Tradition basket a second time. Typically, it is an empty coffee can wrapped in pink paper an idea that developed nearly 60 years ago. Some groups make an announcement about the Pink Can and pass it after the 7th Tradition basket. Other groups keep the Pink Can on their literature table and make an announcement about it during the information break. Please mail contributions for CTFC to: New York Inter-Group Office; 307 Seventh Avenue; Suite 201; New York, NY Make checks payable to New York Inter-Group and write CTFC Pink Can in the memo. A.A. Preamble Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety. (Reprinted with permission of A.A. Grapevine, Inc.) Self-Support: Where Money and Spirituality Mix (A.A. General Service Conference-approved literature) Self-support begins with me, because I am part of us the group. We pay our rent and utility bills, buy coffee and A.A. Literature. We support our central office, our area committee, and our General Service Office. If it were not for those entities, many new people would never discover the miracles of A.A. -From the 7th Tradition Example of Group Contributions to A. A. Service Entities Distribution of Funds: 10% to District / 10% to Area Committee / 30% to G.S.O. / 50% to Intergroup or Central Office Please make checks or money orders payable to: New York Inter-Group. Donations may also be made on our website at Here are some words from Bill W. from 1957 about how money and spirituality mix: Our spiritual way of life is safe for future generations if, as a Society, we resist the temptation to receive money from the outside world. But this leaves us with a responsibility one that every member ought to understand. We cannot skimp when the treasurer of our group passes the hat. Our groups, our areas, and A.A. as a whole will not function unless our services are sufficient and their bills are paid. 7

To date, many of these boroughs and counties have established their own Intergroup offices, and they have many A.A. meetings that have not registered with New York Intergroup. Therefore we recommend if you want to attend an A.A. meeting in those areas to please call us at , or contact the local Intergroup office. General Service Office A.A.

10 Wanted New York Inter-Group needs volunteers to answer the phones 365 DAYS OF THE YEAR. Get involved by answering calls at the Office or from home as part of the Call-Forwarding team. Individuals may sign up for one shift, a weekly commitment or more. Groups may sign up for a recurring Group Commitment. Come for service and fellowship so you can help carry the message to the still sick and suffering alcoholic. Why answer phones? I am responsible When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, I want the hand of A.A. always to be there. And for that: I am responsible. (Reprinted with permission of A.A. World Services, Inc.) Please call (212) or Volunteer@NYIntergroup.org and stop by the office today to learn more. ***One year of continuous sobriety required to answer phones*** ANONYMITY STATEMENT Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always to maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio (TV) and films. Thus we respectfully ask that no A.A. Speaker - or, indeed, any A.A. Member - be identified by full name in published or broadcast reports of our meetings. The assurance of anonymity is essential in our effort to help other problem drinkers who may wish to share our recovery program with us, and our tradition of anonymity reminds us that A.A. Principles come before personalities. The long form of A.A. s Eleventh Tradition says, Our names and pictures as A.A. members ought not be broadcast, filmed, or publicly printed. In keeping with this principle, please do not post recognizable photos of identifiable A.A. members on Web sites accessible to the public, including unrestricted pages on social networking sites. (Reprinted with permission of A.A. World Services, Inc.) Bill W. s Last Message Presented at The New York Inter-Group annual dinner, Oct 10, 1970 in honor of Bill's upcoming 36th anniversary, Dec. 11, 1970 My dear friends, Recently an A.A. member sent me an unusual greeting which I would like to extend to you. He told me it was an ancient Arabian salutation. Perhaps we have no Arabic groups, but it still seems a fitting expression of how I feel for each of you. It says, I salute you and thank you for your life. My thoughts are much occupied these days with gratitude to our Fellowship and for the myriad blessings bestowed upon us by God's Grace. If I were asked which of these blessings I felt was most responsible for our growth as a fellowship and most vital to our continuity, I would say, the Concept of Anonymity. Anonymity has two attributes essential to our individual and collective survival; the spiritual and the practical. On the spiritual level, anonymity demands the greatest discipline of which we are capable; on the practical level, anonymity has brought protection for the newcomer, respect and support of the world outside, and security from those of us who would use A.A. for sick and selfish purposes. A.A. must and will continue to change with the passing years. We cannot, nor should we turn back the clock. However, I deeply believe that the principle of anonymity must remain our primary and enduring safeguard. As long as we accept our sobriety in our traditional spirit of anonymity we will continue to receive God's Grace. And so -- once more, I salute you in that spirit and again I thank you for your lives. May God bless us all now, and forever. Bill W. 9

11 12 Steps 1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol that our lives had become unmanageable. 2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. 3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him. 4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. 5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. 6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. 7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings. 8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all. 9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. 10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. 11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out. 12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs. 12 Traditions 1. Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon A.A. unity. 2. For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern. 3. The only requirement for A.A. membership is a desire to stop drinking. 4. Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or A.A. as a whole. 5. Each group has but one primary purpose to carry its message to the alcoholic who still suffers. 6. An A.A. group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the A.A. name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, and prestige divert us from our primary purpose. 7. Every A.A. group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions. 8. Alcoholics Anonymous should remain forever nonprofessional, but our service centers may employ special workers. 9. A.A., as such, ought never be organized; but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve. 10. Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the A.A. name ought never be drawn into public controversy. 11. Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films. 12. Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our Traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.
