Does my Home Group have an EVI representative?


Back to Page Top

Q. How does my group participate in Intergroup?

A. Any group in the Eugene, Springfield, Junction City, Cottage Grove area (or to be precise, districts 6, 19,20,33, and part of 34) can elect an intergroup representative at their home group business meeting and send them to the monthly E.V.I. Business Meeting. It is held on the second Monday of every month at the E.V.I. office located at 1259 Willamette St. Eugene. That's it. Groups do not have to contribute to participate (just like a meeting!).

Emerald Valley Intergroup Committees:

Our roster of committees; All our committees meet once a month, times and locations vary, ask at the office if one sounds like your service opportunity.

Office Volunteer Coordinator

It is no small job keeping volunteers at the desk in the office. We get lots of calls from folks looking for help, you could be the first person in A.A. that they talk to. This is low key, fairly relaxed, but very important service.

Service Openings: Volunteers are welcome for 4 hour shifts. It gets a little harder to find volunteers during the summer, so please, if you have some time available, think service! (ps. there is an air conditioner....)

Literature

Our Shipping and Receiving Department. Handles orders of Big Books, Pamphlets and other conference approved literature for groups, treatment centers and inventory at the office.

Answering (Diverter), 12 Step List

Whether it is a gal just rolled into town and needs a meeting, or a gruff, slurry voice calling AA for the first time, someone needs to answer the phone. When the EVI office is closed that person is a Diverter volunteer. Calls that bypass the recorded meeting times are diverted to a volunteers home. They answer questions and arrange for someone on the twelve step list to call. Groups volunteer to take shifts in this vital work.

Public Information

Lets the public know that A.A. is in our community. Places discrete adds in print and radio. Also goes out to our High Schools and Middle Schools to give kids the straight dope on alcoholism and A.A. Can use volunteers.
