We are grateful to SAICO for your support to our worldwide fellowship, and we are privileged to contribute to your efforts. Most of our group projects are coordinated with our Intergroup: Fall marathons, Spring retreats, Pass-the-Message Committee, Phone Committee (now with email, too), among others. Our Pass-the-Message outreach has been very successful in local and campus health clinics and area chapters of the employee assistance professionals, including those for federal government employees.

Moreover, we are convening our first open meeting to further spread the word among health professionals and other interested parties. Many of us in this area were referred to recovery programs by such professionals.

Our group receives new members about every other week, and we have created the service position of official “Greeter” to help the newcomers meet other members.
