Our local Intergroups are providing updates on Meeting and Events changes due to COVID-19. Other resources are coming online to support AA Members and the alcoholic who still suffers.

Here are a few links that may be of interest at this time:

Sno-King Intergroup. Serves District 19, 24, 39, and 42.

Greater Seattle Intergroup. Additionally, GSIG is now holding virtual meetings in cooperation with the Groups they serve. More information can be found here.

Eastside Intergroup  has information on meeting changes and virtual meetings.

Area 72 also has information of interest. Here is a link to the Area 72 website.

AA.org also has updates on COVID-19.

WWA 72 Response to COVID-19

I am sure you are all very well aware of the spread of COVID-19/Coronavirus to Washington State. With the latest developments, a number of you have reached out with concern about Area meetings – quarterlies, preconferences, committee meetings, workshops, etc. We understand that some people may choose to not attend Area events due to personal health concerns. Please do what you believe to be best for your wellbeing and the wellbeing of others.

Currently, no Area meetings are rescheduled. If at any point things change, we will notify the committee. Please stay in touch with your home group, district and other committee meetings you attend.

As for A.A. meetings and their schedules… I have heard that some groups are considering cancelling their meetings for a time, or cleaning their meeting location before and after their meetings or even the meeting location has been closed for a time due to their landlord’s wishes. As each A.A. group is autonomous, each group will need to determine what is the best course of action for their group as well as adhere to their landlord’s wishes. If meetings do cancel or are moved for a time, please do communicate these cancellations/changes as best as you possibly can as alcoholics are still suffering.

Please stay safe and take care of yourself.
