Announcement:  PA Area Assembly is going Virtual!

The 63rd Annual Pennsylvania Al-Anon Area Assembly will be held Saturday, August 22, 2020, as a one-day virtual Zoom meeting due to the circumstances surrounding the pandemic.  The PA Area is grateful we have a means to conduct the Assembly safely during this unprecedented time especially since in person gatherings of our Assembly’s size are prohibited.

The Area Assembly is the annual business meeting where each Al-Anon group has the opportunity to send their representative (GR) to express a voice and vote on behalf of their group hence making up the largest Al-Anon/Alateen group conscious in Pennsylvania!  As a reminder, being the third year of this service term, this is an Election Assembly where the next PA Area officers will be elected.

Stay tuned – More details and registration information we be distributed to each group electronically in mid-July.  Looking forward to seeing you in August on ZOOM!

Your friend,

First Virtual World Service Conference

Tuesday, April 21, 2020 — A Home Office somewhere in Pennsylvania

(Updated April 23 and 24)

It wasn’t even four weeks ago that the World Service Office announced that the physical aspect of the 2020 World Service Conference would be held virtually. An amazing amount of preparation went into this first-ever Virtual WSC.

The Conference officially opened this morning. Like last year, I hope to write a daily blog of my reflections on the proceedings. All my posts can be found in the Delegate’s Corner under the About Al-Anon menu above. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd posts already live.

If you have any questions regarding the 2020 World Service Conference,  please email me at [email protected] and I will do my best to answer them.

Please remember to check back all this week and follow along as I describe my thoughts on this year’s Conference. Thank you all for your continued support.

Yours In Service,

Jeffrey F., Delegate

Pennsylvania Area Assembly

Panel 58

Welcome to the PA Area Al-Anon Web Site

There is a message of hope and help in the program of Al-Anon Family Groups. Women, men, and children who were once lonely, lost and helpless because of someone’s drinking, today have courage and confidence in Al-Anon and Alateen. They have discovered friends who understand, as few others can. They have found the tools to help themselves – which can indirectly help their alcoholic relatives or loved ones. Contentment and even happiness is possible whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not. Alateen, a vital part of the Al-Anon Family Groups, is for younger members seeking help while walking through life with an alcoholic parent, other close relative or friend. Teens meet to share their experience, strength, and hope, gaining a better understanding of the disease of alcoholism and themselves. The support found in Alateen helps with personal development and the troubled thinking that is often associated with growing up in an alcoholic home.

Let It Begin With Me… When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, let the hand of Al-Anon and Alateen always be there, and Let It Begin With Me.

Are You Ready? – “Newcomer Preparedness Checklist”

With the holiday season on the horizon, October through December is the busiest time of the year for many people. It is also a period of added stress, especially for families and friends of alcoholics. It is an opportunity to remind us to prepare ourselves and our groups to welcome newcomers who find their way to Al-Anon.
