How Our Central Office Serves You
01. Newsletter
The Central Office publishes a monthly newsletter, the Intergroup Express. It contains group contributions, upcoming group and district events, anniversaries, and news from District 7, Area 15, and G.S.O. It’s a good source of communication between members and groups in the Lee County area.

02. Archives
Intergroup has an archive room/committee meeting room where we store much of A.A. history in the area—early editions of literature, newsletters, meeting lists, etc. We also have a lending library of CDs.
03. Literature
We keep a complete stock of A.A. Conference-approved literature and media for purchase by groups, individuals, and other organizations. You can also find medallions and a selection of non-A.A. books and merchandise.
04. Website
The Central Office publishes this website, where anyone can find out meeting information, Clubhouse locations, upcoming events, answers to questions about alcoholism and A.A., and news and links from District 7, Area 15, and G.S.O. Questions or comments? E-mail: mail to: Leeintergroup@gmail.com
05. Public Information
The Intergroup Office often serves as the first point of contact in Lee County for doctors, professional organizations, the court system, employers, concerned friends and relatives, and many others who come into contact with alcoholism. We provide information and literature, connect A.A. service committees with the public, and act as a liaison with the local media.
06. Meeting Guide
A free mobile app that lets you know the next and nearest A.A. meetings to your location (also searchable by day, time, type, and location)—usable here in Lee County and many places across the country. Download the meeting guide app!
07. Where and When
The Central Office also publishes and prints a meeting directory, “Where and When,” which is updated often. The W&W is issued to local meeting rooms, hospitals, and anyone needing meeting information at their fingertips. It contains meeting times and dates, addresses, and phone numbers for where A.A. can be found.

08. 12-Step
The Office maintains a list of A.A.s willing to make 12-step calls. When our phone volunteer receives a call for help, he contacts someone on our list as close to the caller’s location as possible to make that 12-step call.

09. Volunteers
Our Central Office is normally staffed Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM with committed volunteer sober A.A. members who answer phones and run the cash register. Each one is given an orientation and provides information and connections to other sober members for the alcoholic in need of help.
After hours, an answering service takes over, provided with a copy of our 12-step call list, so our phone line is answered by a live voice willing to connect them 24/7, 365.
10. Intergroup Committee
The group normally meets monthly at the Covenant Presbyterian Church on the third Thursday of each month upstairs to connect the groups with the office and one another. This meeting consists of
Intergroup Representatives: A.A. home group members elected to attend the meeting and carry information back and forth.
Intergroup Steering Committee: 7 members on a rotating volunteer committee, elected to ensure the Central Office runs smoothly and serves the fellowship well.
District Officers and Liaison: Those involved with service at the district level report to the Intergroup to keep the Central Office informed.
