A.A. Service at E.V.I.
Volunteer! Service work is a vital part of A.A. life. We can use volunteers with a few months sobriety, to a few decades.Call or stop by the office, or come to the monthly E.V.I. Business meeting. There is a kind of service work particularly suited to you. All of our committees can use volunteers.
Try out our Volunteer Form!
Take a look at a Tradition Checklist, from The A.A. Grapevine
District Info is on the Events page
Does Your home group have an EVI Representative?
If your group does not have an Intergroup representative, bring it up at your home group business meeting - they will probably elect you, it seems to work that way!
The EVI Newsletter lists current chairpeople, meeting times for committees, etc. The meeting book also lists contact info for H&I meetings.
Emerald Valley Intergroup Committees:

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

Answering (Diverter), l2 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.
