The largest expense in the SA Central Office is our non-sexaholic secretary’s salary (without whose very efficient help Roy would be totally lost). No SA members are paid for their volunteer work. Starting with the second quarter of 1986, our secretary’s salary was increased to $10.00 per hour to be more in line with competitive rates. She averages 30 hours per week, which means her salary averages $300 per week, going as high as $450 when the workload necessitates it.

During the first part of 1986 SA was entirely self-supporting. There was great joy expressed when this was first announced in Oklahoma City. However, now we are not. Let’s pray, talk, and work for a better solution to the increasing demands for Central Office Twelfth Step work, the crucial link in our national and international growth.
