FUNCTIONS OF INTERGROUP CENTRAL OFFICE
The Langley Intergroup Central Office is an A.A. service office involving a partnership among groups within District 43 serving Aldergrove, Cloverdale, Fort Langley, and Langley. It exists for the common purpose of carrying the message of Alcoholics Anonymous to the alcoholic who still suffers.
The Langley Intergroup Central Office is staffed by volunteers or service workers who cover the phones, answer inquiries and 12-Step calls, and sell A.A. literature. The office facilitates 12-Step work by connecting A.A. members with people who have a desire to stop drinking and who wish to know more about A.A.
