The twenty-eight (28), or so, Al-Anon and Alateen meetings (in both English and Spanish) in the Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez Valley areas make-up District 8. District 8 is part of Southern California World Service (SCWS) also know as Area 4.

Each month, at the District 8 meeting, your Group Representative (GR) is assigned to take back to their meeting specific information to share with the group. Some of these items are linked from the Home Page News. Below are the current "Take Back to Your Meeting" announcements.

News for June 2019

• Alateen
  The coordinator position is currently open. The coordinator must be an AMIAS, however, it's not a difficult process and no experience is necessary. It's mainly an administrative service position to make sure meetings have enough AMIASs, etc. It's not a time-consuming service position. There is a lot help available to support you. Please consider.
