With the help of A.A.s like you, New York Inter-Group plays a crucial role in facilitating Alcoholics Anonymous 12 Step work. Among other services, Inter-Group updates and publishes the Meeting Book, brings hundreds of meetings per week into Corrections and Treatment centers, and runs a volunteer helpline that is often the first place Alcoholics call when looking for help.

But Inter-Group’s financial condition has been deteriorating. Despite a number of corrective measures, the Prudent Reserve has fallen below 50%, and NYIG may be forced to make service cuts in the next 6 months.

Fortunately, you can help save this vital service body. If you are able, please consider a contribution, which can be made online or you can send a check to the NYIG Office. If half of the A.A.’s in the NYC area make a recurring donation of 5 dollars per month, Inter-Group’s Prudent Reserve will reach 100% within 4 months. Please email treasurer@nyintergroup.org for more information.

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
