What does our District do?

Do You Know What Your District Does?

The money your groups donate along with the monies District 8 raises makes it possible for your district to:

• Do Public Outreach in the community which informs local professionals, the general public and the media of who we are, what we do and how to get in touch with Al-Anon and Alateen.
• Coordinate and fund the Alateen Program.
• Provide an InfoLine - Hotline.
• Maintain and Coordinate a District Website: www.alanon-bozemanarea.org. Our website has a new look and address and is continually being updated with upcoming event flyers, current meeting lists, minutes from our district meetings, and district job descriptions. It is a resource for members as well as the public. Our District Info Line as well as links to the State Website and Al-Anon Family Groups are all listed.
• Provide current meeting lists for members, the public and professionals, the newspaper, and for the District and State websites.
• Provide a copy of How Al-Anon works to newcomers. Alateen also provides a daily reader for newcomers.
• Send the District Rep or Alternate District Rep to Area Assembly each Spring and Fall to represent our district, give reports on what our district is doing and brings back a information to the groups from both the State Level (Montana AFG - Area Assembly) and the World Service Office & Conference
• Participate with AA with Al-Alanon co-chairs for Roundups.
• Conduct district business.
• The district and it’s officers and coordinator are a resource for the groups.
• Organize the Gratitude Festival. Our annual fundraiser is a wonderful opportunity to bring our recovery community together for Food, Fun and Fellowship!
• Address group concerns. All the items being discussed at the World Service Conference are concerns that have come from the group level.
