BOOKSTORE

It’s Easy to Volunteer at the Bookstore

To volunteer at the Al-Anon Bookstore is fun and easy and an opportunity for personal growth through service. We offer one-on-one training at the AAIS Bookstore in the Alano Club. Two and four hour shifts are available, as frequently or infrequently as you desire. Working at the Bookstore is usually slow paced. Responsibilities are straight forward:

  • Answer the phone.
  • Review and return messages.
  • Sell books.
  • Restock the book shelves.
  • Chat with folks that drop in.

Who can volunteer? Al-Anon members seeking the benefits of service who enjoy contact with fellow Al-Anons can volunteer. Members who can answer the question, “What have I learned in Al-Anon?” are ready to volunteer. Note that there is no “correct” answer to this question. If you can formulate any answer, then you are ready to meet newcomers at the Bookstore.

To discuss being a volunteer, contact Chrissy at the  Bookstore.

AREA Service Opportunities

UTAH AREA ALATEEN COORDINATOR
As we all know, alcoholism is a family disease, and Alateen meetings are vital for our young members in Utah. Panel 66 is looking for someone who shares the vision of a growing Alateen program in Utah with safe and supportive meetings for our kids. Your leadership is needed to ensure that our AMIAS (Al-Anon Members Involved in Alateen Service) have the training needed to keep our Alateen meetings running. With the support of the Area Alateen Process Person (AAPP), the Area Chair, Delegate, and the rest of the Area World Service Committee (AWSC), you can provide rewarding twelfth-step service that directly helps Utah teens cope with the effects of living with someone else's alcoholism.

Please check out the following guidelines regarding this fulfilling service opportunity:

UTAH AREA AL-ANON/ALATEEN INFORMATION SERVICE (AAIS) Coordinator
Are you someone who loves our Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature (CAL)? Are you looking for a meaningful way to give back to the fellowship that has given you so much?
As the AAIS Coordinator, you will act as a vital bridge between the Utah Area World Service Committee (AWSC) and the Utah Area Al-Anon Information Service (AAIS). In this leadership role, you will also serve as the Chairperson of the AAIS Board. The AAIS is often the first point of contact with recovery for many newcomers. By managing our local Information Service and bookstore, the AAIS Board ensures that Al-Anon's message of hope is always available when anyone reaches out for help.

Help is here for the asking. Please take a moment to ask yourself these questions: “Are You Troubled By Someone’s Drinking?” or “Did You Grow Up With A Problem Drinker?” If you identify with some of these statements, it is important to know that help and hope for friends and families of alcoholics is just a phone call away.
