Convention Champions Needed
Even if you can’t attend, you can still help us make this a successful Convention! Please consider being a Convention Champion.
A Convention Champion is someone who helps us get the word out. Please consider telling your group members and recovery friends about the upcoming Convention. Even if you can’t go yourself, you may know someone who would love to go, who hasn’t heard about it yet.
Please contact the ISO for more information:

UPDATED: New Contact for St. John’s Meetings
Update April 5, 2012: A clarification-Carol Ann is not the contact for the meetings, but a contact for the church. Any member/meeting wishing to contact the church will contact Carol Ann. Each meeting has its own designated contact (see the ISO website for details).
Carol Ann R. is the new contact for St. John’s:
By the way, I would like to let you (and others) know that I will no longer be the contact person for the Church’s 12 Step Support Groups. Carol Ann R. is taking over the duties.
Not only is she the coordinator with the Children’s Ministry, she is well experienced with various Support Groups and all the 12 Steps standards and methods. She was once employed with the National Support Groups. She is very passionate about what she does and will be a great help in assisting our groups.
Please feel free to contact her at any time via email: cross@sjd.org or via phone at (713) 622-3600 Ext 266 with your requests or concerns. We excited to have her working with all our Support Groups.
Take care,
Jewel
Carol Ann’s contact info has been added to the Meeting Schedule.

ISO Mailing List Call to Action
During the last year, the ISO has developed and implemented an e-mail list for the purpose of making more effective, convenient and financially efficient communications to the SAA Fellowship about ISO news and events. Our list has grown from around 500 people last year to 2,031 members today!
We have found this list to be helpful to the Fellowship in many ways, including:
- Efficiently reaching more people with information regarding ISO news & events, including ISO Convention and Delegate Conference meeting announcements
- Wider distribution and readership of our ISO Newsletter, The Outer Circle
- Improved communications regarding 7th Tradition events
- Minimizing printing and postage costs, enabling us to make more responsible, effective and efficient use of your donations. This means we can devote more of these resources to outreach-related projects
We will only add someone to the list if they request to be added, but many members are not aware that the list exists. This is where we need your help!
Please print out the ISO Email List sign-up sheet and take it your group. We are grateful for your service!
