Public Outreach Coordinator Report
Hello North Florida! It’s so much fun being your Public Outreach
Coordinator. I get the news first from WSO and my ‘job’ is to send it to all of
you!!!
Outreach to the
Public/Media
Our 2006 public service announcement, “What It’s Like,” has
been very well received. In the first 3 months, it has aired on TV nearly 5,000
times and on radio over 4,000 times. I hope you have seen or heard it.
Outreach to
Professionals
At Spring Assembly I dared and double dog dared you for every
North Florida Al-Anon member to give a copy of “Al-Anon Faces Alcoholism 2007”
magazine to a professional. Already, over 500 copies have been out by the
people at Fall Assembly. Now it’s your turn!! The second order deadline is
February 15, 2007. The title is 2007 so we can use it all next year.
One physician office is scanning in the Al-Anon Referral Pad into
their Rx Screen on their computer.
Please note that the WSO has discontinued the “Al-Anon Speaks Out” newsletter for professionals. Something new is coming.
Outreach to
Institutions
Consider leaving our “Crying House” Bookmark where family members bring their loved ones for help in a rehabilitation center. Perhaps it can also be left at the Detox unit’s desk?Outreach to Help-lines on-lineIs your district phone number and website on an on-line help-line to reach people 24/7? Love and hugs, Carolyn from Jaxp.s. Remember to label everything I’ve mentioned with your district phone number and website and to say our full name, Al-Anon Family Groups, so people will know we help the families of alcoholics.
