Area 46 Service Forum 2021
2021-07-24 09:00 - 16:00
What is It?
The Area 46 New Mexico A.A. Service Forum is to provide an open forum for A.A. members to explore what “Service” means in A.A. – what it is, why we do it, how it works, and how to be a part of it. This forum is founded on the idea that growing in understanding about service helps each of us become better able to be of service.
Why Should I Attend?
The Service Forum is a great opportunity for A.A. members to discover what service opportunities are out there and how it all fits into the General Service Structure. It is also a great event where seasoned servants can be encouraged and maybe event learn something new.
Registration

This is a free event. To remain self-supporting we ask that you make a contribution to Area 46. You can do that here.
