communications committee
The District 16B Communications Committee was formed in 2011 to coordinate and manage the District's Hotline service and to develop and maintain the District 16B website. In addition, a trifold meeting schedule was maintained until 2020. The District currently makes use of Area 16's database of meetings to provide local meeting schedules. By using Area 16's resources, a single source of data is maintained thus reducing confusion and duplication of effort.
We are working on a way to provide meeting schedule data for groups that are not registered with G.S.O. and to again provide a printable trifold schedule.

Hotline Service
All phone calls & text messages are forwarded via Google Voice to volunteer's mobile phones. We have six people answering incoming calls and text messages at any one time; therefore, someone is always readily available. This also gives every person an equal opportunity to answer, so no one individual takes all calls. This is an extremely important form of Twelfth Step service, as many of our callers are contacting Alcoholics Anonymous for the first time.
If you are interested in volunteering for District 16B's Hotline, send us a message here.
