- Activities sub-committee

The Area Service Committee
(ASC) is a group of trusted servants that meets monthly with
the express purpose of fulfilling the specific needs of NA groups in
the Rogue Redwood area. The ASC is comprised of three types of service
positions: The Administrative Committee, the Sub-Committee
Chairpersons, and the Group Service Representatives (GSRs). (For more
information about GSRs, please refer to I.P. #2, “The Group.”) The ASC
promotes unity through the free expression of ideas and mutual aide.
The Area Service Committee meets at 5:00PM on the fourth Sunday of each
month at Pythian Hall , 2301 Upper River Rd. Loop, Grants Pass. Any
member of the NA community is invited to attend the monthly ASC
meeting. For more information, please send an e-mail to admin@sosascna.com
Recovery in N.A. is more than life
without drugs. The Activities sub-committee
organizes a variety of functions in which addicts can find fun and
fellowship with others in recovery. Activities provides a popular
introduction into N.A. service as there are many things that can be
done which require little clean time. Speaker meetings/dances, picnics,
karioke nights, rafting trips and Unity Day are just some of the
activities organized by the Activities sub-committee. The Activities
sub-committee meets at 1:00PM on the fourth Sunday of each month at
Pythian Hall , 2301 Upper River Rd. Loop, Grants Pass. Any member of
the NA community is invited to attend the monthly ASC meeting. For more
information, please send an e-mail to activities@sosascna.com.
N.A's primary purpose is to carry
the message of recovery. The purpose of the Public
Information sub-committee is to ensure that clear and
accurate information about N.A. is available to the public. This helps
ensure an accurate perspective of recovery in N.A. and avoids
self-promotion and personal grandiosity. Involvement in P.I. provides
an excellent opportunity to learn our principles and help extend
awareness of our fellowship. Carrying the message insures the growth of
our members and the health of our fellowship. P.I. meets on the fourth
Sunday of each month at 3:00 PM at Pythian Hall , 2301 Upper River Rd.
Loop, Grants Pass. For more information, please send an e-mail to publicinfo@sosascna.com.
The Public Information Subcommittee is also responsible for the area's phoneline, which provides an opportunity for one addict to help another addict on a personal, one-to-one basis. By maintaining a 24-hour-a-day phone service, Narcotics Anonymous is always available to those in need. This service connects the experience, strength and hope of the fellowship with the still suffering addict. The phoneline also provides meeting times and locations. Addicts are always needed to be available on the other end of the phone when someone reaches out. For more information, please send an e-mail to publicinfo@sosascna.com.

The Hospitals and
Institutions sub-committee carries the message of recovery to
addicts who might not be able to attend regular meetings. Some places
H&I takes meetings include hospitals, detox centers and jails.
Encountering addicts in these settings can help provide a more
realistic perspective, keeping our memory "green," and intensifying our
gratitude. Sharing through H&I is a direct, personal form of
service which reinforces both our commitment and our understanding of
the program. H&I meets in conjunction with Public Information
at 3:00 PM on the fourth Sunday of each month at Pythian Hall , 2301
Upper River Rd. Loop, Grants Pass. For more information, please send an
e-mail to h_and i@sosascna.com.
