Making A
Contribution To Intergroup
Because of our Tradition of
self-support, it is very important to be sure that only contributions from
members of Alcoholics Anonymous are sent to Intergroup.
Contributions
are accepted from AA Groups/Meetings and can be designated for two
specific funds:
1) General Fund: This is the 7th Tradition Fund. Monies in this
account are used to "carry the message" of recovery to the
suffering alcoholic. This fund is used to purchase literature,
pay for the Hotline phone service, print AA schedules, pay for phone book
listings, rent for achieves storage, Intergroup meeting & Post Office
Box rent, printing of the Alternative, postage and supplies, Insurance
and internet Hosting and Domain registration. Average expenses are
approximately $850/month.
2) Activities Fund: Monies contributed to this fund are used for
social activities associated with Intergroup sponsored gatherings.
Historically this money has been used to finance the Summer Picnic, a
New Year's Eve Alcathon, Unity Events and other activities decided on by
the Intergroup membership.
A complete financial report is given each month at the Intergroup Meeting
and all expenditures are subject to review and approval by the elected
Intergroup Representatives.
When sending contributions, please make the check payable to "Reading-Berks
Intergroup" and indicate General Fund or Activities Fund on the
bottom of the check in the memo section. Checks without this note will be
deposited in the General Fund.
Contributions can be mailed to:
Reading-Berks Intergroup
P.O. Box 12157
Reading, PA 19612
