Want These? Try This !

Dear AA Members, Alcoholics aren't the only ones trapped by alcohol. Family members and friends are frequently

affected by someone else's drinking. Do you know a young person that needs help dealing with the disease of alcoholism in a family member or friend? Although currently there are no Alateen meetings in District 6, help is available. You can refer teens to our website: www.Al-Anon.org and click on Teen Corner or call your Central office @ 352-360-0960 for my num-ber.

Thank you for your help. Yours in Service, Mike S

Alateen District 6
