Getting Involved

Become Your Home Groups Intergroup Representative (IGR)
In areas where Intergroups have been formed such as Berks County, the AA Groups elect an Intergroup Representative and an Alternate, who participate in the monthly Intergroup business meetings with other elected Representatives.
These meetings are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at Calvary Baptist Church 510 Park Ave. Reading PA. The meeting starts at 7:30 PM and is usually over by 9:00PM

Making A Contribution To Intergroup

Because of our Tradition of self-support, it is very important to be sure that only contributions from members of Alcoholics Anonymous are sent to Intergroup.

Contributions are accepted from AA Groups/Meetings and can be designated for two specific funds:

1) General Fund: This is the 7th Tradition Fund. Monies in this account are used to "carry the message" of recovery to the suffering alcoholic. This fund is used to pay rent, purchase literature, pay for phone service and print schedules.

2) Activities Fund: Monies contributed to this fund are used for social activities that are not in keeping with the 7th Tradition of A.A. Historically this money has been used to finance a Summer Picnic and a New Year's Eve Alcathon & Dance.

A complete financial report is given each month at the Intergroup Meeting and all expenditures are subject to review and approval by the elected Intergroup Representatives.

When sending contributions, please make the check payable to "Reading-Berks Intergroup" and indicate General Fund or Activities Fund on the bottom of the check in the memo section. Checks without this note will be deposited in the General Fund.

Contributions can be mailed to:
Reading-Berks Intergroup
P.O. Box 12157
Reading, PA 19612

Volunteer to Help Out on an Upcoming Event
Fun activities are a great way to get people involved. If you want to participate in Intergroup activities but are not an Intergroup Representative, feel free to attend Intergroup meetings and "Volunteer" to help out with any of several activities put on by Reading Intergroup each year.
