Council Approves Multi-Year Funding for Public Outreach
|
|
The AIS Council made a long-term commitment to public outreach by approving a multi-year outreach proposal. The plan calls for the Outreach budget to be $6,000 per year for 2022-2025 to fund large-scale outreach awareness campaigns similar to the effective 2020 digital media campaign. The plan will spend down the excess funds on hand above the combined AIS operating funds and ample reserve as determined by a task force in early 2019. (See the KBDM for the proposal here.)
Public outreach informs the general public about who we are, what we do, and how to get in touch with Al-Anon and Alateen. When we share information with the general public in broad-based awareness campaigns, “we need to know that some people in the audience are families and friends of alcoholics, and others are not. Al-Anon’s primary purpose is reaching out to those who are affected by alcoholism. However, even those not affected may know someone who needs our program. The greater the awareness in the general public, the more likely those who need us will find us” (The Best of Public Outreach, p. 5). As our outreach flyer states: “They won’t reach out to Al-Anon if they don’t know we exist.”

A to Z Step Tenth Step Tool
|

|
Step 10: Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
A few months ago, I was in a meeting where a wise member said she created a list from A to Z to help her with her Tenth Step. Being the list-making-spreadsheet-loving gal that I am, I thought it was a creative yet practical way to practice this step. However, I don’t think it replaces those times when I realize right away that I’ve regressed into my old ways and need to make amends before I justify it away. Instead, this tool is a supplemental, periodic review of the character defects that keep resurfacing even though they no longer work.
I think of it as a garden. I don’t just pull weeds once, and I’m done. Oh, if it were that easy! The weeds keep coming up because that’s what weeds do. Same with my character defects. The seeds of my defects are deep in my soul soil. Given the right conditions, they rise to the surface as predictable as the tides. But, over time, with enough attention and labor, I pluck the worst offenders and make room for the things I want in my garden.
Here’s my list. I hope you find it helpful.
Advice. Have I given unsolicited advice?
Bravado. Have I remembered to practice humility?
Controlling. Controlling. Controlling. Have I continued my work on this stubborn trait?
Defensive. Was I too quick to defend myself instead of listening?
Exercise. Have I treated my body to the gift of movement?
Food. Do I have a healthy attitude toward food?
Guidance. Have I relied solely on my own guidance, or have I reached out for help when needed?
Heroism. Have I viewed myself as the Mighty Atlas lately?
Isolating. Have I hunkered down for too long, avoiding important relationships?
Jump. Have I jumped to conclusions without checking it out?
Kind. Have my thoughts and actions expressed the kindness I would wish to receive?
Love. Have I remembered that love, the great healing power, is always available to me?
Martyrdom. Have I offered to be of service freely without expectations?
Nosy. Have I minded my own business?
Outcome. Have I been overly anxious over outcomes?
Perfectionism. Have I offered myself and others grace when inevitable mistakes happen?
Q-Tip. Have I quit taking it personally?
Resentments. Have I let old resentments rob me of the present?
Safety. Have I honored my perceptions around safety?
Trust. Have I continued my work around trusting myself, my HP, and others?
United. Have I remembered we are in this together, placing principles above personalities?
Vanity. Have I focused on myself so much I’ve forgotten others also have stories, needs, and wants?
Worry. Have I let worry crowd out the possibility for good?
X’s. Has a personal or business relationship ended amicably?
Youth. Have my words and actions been an example for younger ones?
Zeal. Has my zeal for Al-Anon made me a promoter instead of an attracter?

The Serenity Prayer
|
Photo by Marjorie S
|
God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
One great lesson was passed on to me early in my Al-Anon journey: rewording the Steps and Traditions around the particular issue I am facing. I adjust the First Step to be “I am powerless over the other drivers on the road and my attitude has become unmanageable.” I can reword the Second Step as “Only a power greater than myself can restore me to sanity by removing my resentment and anger toward the other drivers.” And so on with the rest of the Steps.
I can do the same thing with the serenity prayer.
God grant me the serenity to accept that the other person has ideas and ways of doing things that I cannot change. Courage to ask for what I want and need without trying to manipulate them. And wisdom to know what I should be asking of the other person and what I should be asking of my Higher Power.
Perhaps an even simpler way is to ask myself the question from “Working Step One” in Paths to Recovery (pp. 15-16): “How do I recognize that the alcoholic is an individual with habits, characteristics, and ways of reacting to daily happenings that are different than mine?”
It turns out that most of my resentment is from thinking, “they should do it my way”!

Progress Not Perfection |
|
Perfectionism and fear of criticism have often kept me trapped in self-doubt and frustration. In my 12-step work, I have discovered why this is so prevalent in adult children of alcoholics. I grew up in a home where nothing was ever good enough. Even at 10 years of age, I was made to do chores repeatedly to try to meet an impossible standard. The gouging words were so painful and demeaning such as; “You are so stupid!” “Why can’t you do anything right!?” “You are so destructive and irresponsible!” In addition, I was the firstborn of two fault-finding firstborns who were unconsciously repeating their generational patterns.
The fears that fueled my perfectionism held me back from trying new things and thwarted my ability to stand up to the bullies in my life. In my experience, critical people will often force their unwelcome opinions into the mix at church, work, meetings, school, and group activities that are supposed to be fun! The kicker in this cyclical wheel of misfortune is that I have been an approval seeker of those same belittling family members and the parade of other judgmental people prevalent in life. Expecting a critical person to be approving is the definition of crazy!
Not only did there seem to be an abundance of disapproval around me, I had the critical voices taunting me in my head, “You HAVE to get straight A’s … a high B is not good enough … don’t even try that class if you aren’t sure of an A!” Perfectionism also taps into “All or Nothing” thinking. Go for the gold or go home! Silver doesn’t count!
It was such a relief to discover the Al-Anon slogan, “Progress Not Perfection.” This is the rhythm of life! “Good enough” frees me to be more productive and adventurous. Inventors would never be able to invent anything without many so-called “failures.” It takes time and practice to learn a new skill. In Al-Anon, much of this practice is live action with no rehearsal. Alcoholism, by its nature, creates chaos, crises, and conflict. Alcoholics are experts at baiting, projecting, and pulling their loved ones into their drama.
If I can step back and journal out my experiences, it will help me to be more objective about my progress. The alcoholic will sadly drive the car until the wheels fall off and the rims catch on fire! Sometimes I find myself in the passenger seat, desperately trying to convince the alcoholic to slam on the brakes! Or I am frantically running behind the car carrying three fire extinguishers! Progress tells me I don’t have to be a reflection in the alcoholic’s rearview mirror.

Al-Anon Mailbag
|
Question: Bill H from Kalamazoo, Arkansas asks, what is AMIAS?
Answer: AMIAS is an acronym that stands for Al-Anon Members Involved in Alateen Service. I found this on page 27 of the Al-Anon Service Manual: "In 2003, the Al-Anon Family Group Headquarters, Inc. Board of Trustees took action to assure the safety of Alateens and Al-Anon Members Involved in Alateen Service (AMIAS). The 2003 Alateen Motion from the Board of Trustees required that all Al-Anon Areas in the World Service Conference (WSC) Structure establish Area Alateen Safety and Behavioral Requirements and have a process for certification of Al-Anon Members Involved in Alateen Service (AMIAS)." |

August 2021 AIS Council Meeting Minutes (Summary)
|
photo courtesy of Marjorie S
|
Secretary’s Report: BZ W started reading her report, but her laptop was cutting in and out, so Eliza D asked for volunteers to read, and Laura S read the report. Mary B made a motion to accept the minutes as amended. Mary R second and motion carried.
Treasurer's Report: Mariann M went through her reports and pointed out that donations by
Districts came in this month at $712.12 and are really down, and literature sales were also
light. This is also the month we need to pay property tax; the Church does not pay property tax,
but we missed out even though Linda H tried to get an exemption but to no avail. Since we only use about 2% of the church, we paid $2,000.00, and it went way up this year. Total
Liabilities <$1,021.72>, Total Equity $70,360.27, Total Assets are $69,338.55.
Vice-Chair Report: Helen V went over what is happening with the Bylaws committee and will
be meeting later this month. We have been getting the attorney’s help and getting
information about insurance that the attorney highly stressed.
From the Chair: Eliza D said that she was going to skip everything listed on the agenda for this
Month.
Old Business: The Resentment Bonfire was CANCELLED because of fire risks.
New Business: Eliza D asked about doing the 2022 Budget, and Mariann M will check with Linda H because she has never done one before as she’s new to the position.
Coordinator Reports
Outreach Co-Coordinator: Teresa H, co-coordinator, has a proposal, and we want to let the public know about Al-Anon and Alateen. Attraction is what Al-Anon is. Last year we sent a mailing to 2,300 professionals in King County that cost $1,700. We also did programmatic ads on the internet, off to the side as you check out something like the Seattle Times, the cost for a month was $1,000. The cool thing is we can track when people click on the ads. We did Facebook ads, a sponsor ad. During the first week of that ad campaign, almost 400 people came to our website. We found that social media outperformed the programmatic working with experts. We bought a program from Seattle Media Solutions, which is an arm of the Seattle Times. Reaching out directly to people is more effective, so we would like to explore different media channels this year. Would like to go to audio, on YouTube or Spotify; only people in King County would hear these ads. Ads would run from November 2021 through January 2022, and we only pay if they listen to the full ad. There were questions asked. Then Helen V made a motion for $600 for these ads, and Mary B seconded it. Motion carried.
Tech Coordinator: Doug L did not attend the meeting.
Alateen Coordinator: Kathy B held the first zoom meeting on Saturday, and no teens attended. It takes a while for the teens to show set up 4 but need more. Pass the word that there is a zoom Alateen meeting. Seattle schools do want Alateen meetings in the middle schools. It may be a zoom meeting but will keep working on that.
Archives Coordinator: Eric G has been digitizing stuff. Each conference has a different recording. An Archives section tab will be coming to the website soon. Also, he needs a few display stands for the case and some nice binders. If you have any archive discs or tapes to donate, just let Eric G know at archives@seattle-al-anon.org.
Phone volunteer Coordinator: Dave M reported that 73% of the phone shifts were covered. We still need volunteers. Had 116 calls, 51 were Al-Anon related. August was busy, so please put this out at meetings.
Communications Coordinator: Cheré F reported that meetings are updated daily, so please send changes to meetingdirectoryeditor@seattle-al-anon.org. There are 63 Zoom only, 11 in-person, 8 Hybrid, and 3 concurrent (in-person and electronic meeting separately) groups. Eric G says there is someone that might be interested in the Newsletter Editor position. Also, we have a member who is interested in the Web Editor position. If you have event information or a flyer, please send it to Teresa (eventseditor@seattle-al-anon.org), and she will post it.
LDC Coordinator: No one attended.
Group Check-in: Allen L shared that the Thursday Night in Renton 7:30 p/m meeting is trying to do a Hybrid meeting. If there is any trouble getting in, let him know, and he will help. Mary B reported that Monday and Friday Morning in Auburn are doing concurrent meetings. Business meetings are together, though. Dave P from Expect a Miracle Saturday at 10 am reported that they have started the in-person and Zoom meetings. Maria Friday thought they would go to in-person, but nope, the church said no.
Announcements: Teresa H mentioned the Fall Assembly. District 21 needs help with the hospitality room. Dave M next Saturday at the HEAR Speaker meeting, there will be a couple from Kirkland. Eliza D tried to get a Spanish interpreter but didn’t get it done. Will keep trying. 7th Tradition can be made online.
