Revised Group Safety Literature
The General Service Office has made available revised safety literature for all members, meetings and groups. This literature includes a pamphlet, a flyer and a safety card. All are encouraged to review these items and use them as needed.
UPDATE ON IN-PERSON, VIRTUAL AND HYBRID MEETINGS
On January 30, 2021 the Rhode Island Area Assembly approved a motion to display in person meetings on the Area website, aainri.com. Tradition Four states that “Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or AA as a whole”. To honor Tradition Four the most recent Executive Order from the Governor is available here and the most recent Guidance from the Rhode Island Department of Health is being updated and will be available upon publication.
To list or change any meeting, in-person, hybrid or online, each group is requested to submit the form below, describing the meeting and the group. Thank you.
Meeting Updates
