There’s a vital need for outside AA members to sponsor AA members in prisons. NorCal H&I (Hospitals and Institutions) (a 9th Tradition service committee) is starting a groundbreaking program called Inside Visiting Sponsorship Service (IVSS). To get started, please attend a 1 hour online informational meeting.

Please take note that the regular location for the Monday Men’s Meeting at the PPAV hall in Visalia has been temporarily shifted. Instead, we kindly ask all attendees to go to Colima’s Restaurant on Noble Avenue near Roller Towne. This change only applies to the meeting on June 12. The PPAV hall is unavailable twice a year, which is why we gather at Colima’s then.

In observance of the holidy, Central Office will not be open today. We will be open tomorrow, Tuesday May 30.
