Renewed Appeal for Donations

The Central Office gratefully acknowledges the contributions recently received in answer to our request for additional financial support. It seems self-evident that, as a fellowship, SA must maintain a central clearinghouse in order to make it possible for sexaholics who still suffer to make contact with local members of the fellowship. [In addition, your financial support allows us to continue the task of reorganizing the service structure of SA, as mandated at the July 1991 conference.] While many members volunteer their time and effort in service work directed at these activities, there are expenses connected with maintaining any office, and we are no exception. The Central Office depends on support from all SA groups, and if your group has not recently made a contribution to SA 12th Step work at the national/international level, we again ask that you consider doing so in the near future. Your contributions make this work possible. [See Box 300 for committee reports.]

Please Provide Group Contact

…speaking of making contact, we would like to be sure that we have a contact name and telephone number for every group, no matter how small, to pass on to inquirers. If you are not absolutely sure that your group is listed, please contact the SA Central Office.

Essay Available Free of Charge

If you know of any members of the fellowship that are not presently receiving Essay, who would like to be added to the mailing list, please ask them to contact the Central Office. “There are no dues or fees…” The Essay is available without charge to anyone who requests it.

Roy’s Germany Tapes

In 1985 and 1988 Roy K. was asked to give seminars at the Walther Lechler Psychosomatic Klinik in Bad Herrenalb, Germany. He told his story and discussed the program of recovery to mixed audiences of persons in various Twelve Step programs, including SA. From time to time, SA members have asked if these tapes would ever be made available, as they are in Europe. After testing the tapes out on the Literature Committee and other members, it was decided to make them available to any who might want them. The original talks, including the German translation, are now available from the Central Office. Each set of six cassettes (six for 1985 and six for 1988) is nine ($9) dollars. An edited transcript of the English only should also be available later this year.
