Message From Your Board

Chair message

Dear San Diego Al-Anon Friends,

As we move through this new year together, I am filled with gratitude for the different perspectives that each of you brings to this fellowship. Our community is stronger because of your participation, your service, and your continued commitment to carrying the message of Al-Anon across San Diego County.

If you are looking to deepen your program through service, consider joining the AIS Service Board as our new Secretary. This is a meaningful role that is well-suited for a detail-oriented member who values written communication and wants to contribute beyond their home group. The Secretary plays a central role in keeping our board connected, organized, and accountable — compiling meeting minutes, producing monthly reports, and helping ensure the continuity of our service work.

If you are someone who takes careful notes, communicates clearly in writing, and can commit to about an hour per week plus our monthly Board and bi-monthly ISR meetings, we would love to hear from you. A flyer with more details is included in this issue.

Participation is the key to harmony <3

With gratitude,

Alexa C, Board Chair

Message From Your Board

Chair Message

Dear Al-Anon Friends,

I would like to begin by offering heartfelt thanks to the 2025 San Diego County AFG Area Information Service Office (AIS) Board Members for your time, dedication, and service over the past year. A special note of gratitude goes to those rotating off the Board - David M, Cindi H, Edna M, Ron P, Susan L, and Dayna H. Many of you served for three or more years, often stepping into roles when volunteers were scarce. Your willingness to say “yes” when it mattered most made a real difference, and we are deeply grateful.

To those continuing into 2026 - Sherry M, Ted P, Katrina D, Janice G, Devon M, and Dora S - thank you for your ongoing service and steady support of our AIS community. Your commitment helps to keep our area strong and connected.

I would also like to extend a warm welcome to our new Board members: Jayne T, Kathy L, Patti H, Danielle A, Joy B, and Tessa R. Thank you for your commitment to both the Al-Anon community and your personal programs. This round of nominations had the strongest participation the AIS Board has seen in several years, and that is something to celebrate. Participation truly is the key to harmony.

A full list of the 2026 AIS Board members, their positions, and contact information can be found above. We welcome your questions, your ideas, and your voices. We are here to serve you.

When I think of my recovery in Al-Anon, service is at the top of the list of “things that got me where I am today.” Through service, I’ve gained many unexpected gifts: confidence, patience, and a deeper understanding of how to live the Al-Anon principles in real time. I’ve learned to lean on the Traditions and the slogans - to pause before reacting, and to ask myself, “How important is it?” - not just in meetings, but in everyday life. Service continues to be one of the greatest teachers in my program, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to continue that journey.

I encourage each of you to consider service - whether at your home group, at the district level, or beyond. Service is another way we express gratitude for what we have received in Al-Anon.

Finally, Glee Anon is back! Please join us on Saturday, February 21st, 2026, at 7:00pm at Unity San Diego for Glee Anon: An Al-Anon Carol.

If you haven’t attended before, Glee Anon is a musical performance created and performed by Al-Anon members, set to familiar and popular songs with a distinctly Al-Anon twist. It is truly one of my favorite events of the year, and I hope you won’t miss out on the laughter, music, and fellowship.

Tickets may be purchased online at alanonsandiego.org or at the door, with a $15 suggested donation. This is the first of three fundraisers benefitting the AIS Office. Contributions are used by the Service Board to maintain the office and bookstore, spread the message through public outreach, and so much more. I hope to see you all there!

With gratitude,

Alexa C.
