Our Statement of Purpose
This is the "Official"
Alcoholics Anonymous Delegate Area 26 Website established
for the purpose of assisting the AA groups of Area 26 in
carrying the AA message, primarily by publishing Area 26
news of interest, as well as the meeting schedules of the AA
groups in Area 26. It is our goal to help the
still-suffering alcoholic establish direct, face to face,
contact with Alcoholics Anonymous.
As an Area 26 Website Committee
communication vehicle this website is in line with the April 1997 General
Service Conference Public Information Committee action making it official that
AA now includes "Electronic Media" as yet another method of carrying the AA
message
Area 26 may also
publish additional information, such as Area 26 Delegate,
Officer and Standing Committee reports, listings of Intergroup
Central Offices, announcements of conferences, conventions and
other AA events of interest in our region, and any other
information that may be deemed useful by the members of the Area
26 Assembly and its Public Information Committee. .
The Area 26 website
will always take special precautions be vigilant about
protecting the spirit of our AA Traditions, and shall not
affiliate or link our site to any non-AA related entity.
Furthermore, this site is provided solely as a general service
vehicle for public information. As a service committee we simply
pass along publicly available information concerning Alcoholics
Anonymous within the geographic bounds of Area 26.
The Area 26 Website will be diligent about
protecting the anonymity of all AA members. No last names of AA
members will be used on this website, including email addresses
with last names.
A Website is a public communications vehicle not
unlike "Press, Radio, TV, and Films". Carrying our AA message on
a Web site is within our traditions as long as last names or
facial pictures are not posted.
Personal email between members and/or
non-members is no different than using Postal Mail or the
telephone. Disclosing AA membership in this way does not
compromise our tradition of maintaining anonymity at the public
level.
