What We Do
AA Public
Information has one ultimate goal, and it is the same as that of every AA group
and every type of service work: To carry the message to the alcoholic who still
suffers, But public information tries to reach the alcoholic indirectly, was
well as directly, in three ways:
-
By informing the general
public about the AA program
-
By informing "the third
person" whose work is or may be involved with the active alcoholic
-
By keeping the fellowship
well-informed, so that members and groups may carry the message more
effectively.
Why We Do
It
Much of the
Public has not had the opportunity to find out how the AA Program works. There
are a great many misconceptions about AA in the public eye.
Unless we inform
the public, many practicing alcoholics may never find us.
The PI committee
is prepared to meet any group of individuals that would like information about
what AA is and what it is not.

How
Can You Help?
There are
many ways to get involved even if you do not wish to call on the public
face-to-face. The behind-the-scenes work that makes everything possible
exhibits the same rewards, and is necessary if we are to carry the message
This type
of service work does not require much time, and due to its nature, very
often it can be done at your convenience.
