Like any
other
A.A. service, the primary purpose of those involved in archival work is
to
carry the message of Alcoholics Anonymous. Archives service work is
more
than mere custodial activity; it is the means by which we collect,
preserve
and share the rich and meaningful heritage of our Fellowship. It is by
the
collection and sharing of these important historical elements that our
collective
gratitude for Alcoholics Anonymous is deepened.

Correctional
Facilities

The purpose of a
correctional facilities
committee
is to coordinate the work of individual A.A. members and groups who are
interested
in carrying our message of recovery to alcoholics behind the walls, and
to
set up means of smoothing the way from the facility to the larger A.A.
community
through prerelease contacts.

Public
Information

this
purpose. They also serve as resources for our friends in the local

non-affiliation,
as well as offering A.A. public service announcements to radio and

stations.

Special
Needs
|
Tries to ensure that
local meetings
recognize
the needs of those with special needs, such as hearing impaired, sight
impaired,
wheelchair bound and other unique needs. Efforts are made to ensure
that
meetings are available to those or to even bring meetings to shut-ins
if
necessary. An example of this would be arranging for signers (sign
language)
for the hearing impaired at a meeting or conference.
