 H&I has so many awesome things happening right now and we don’t want you to miss out, so please join us at your Area Committee meetings or our General Service Committee meetings. We ask that whenever possible groups donate to the pink can money or online.  The mail has occasionally been late and even lost.  The website is on the pink can.  We have started a sponsorship program at San Quentin.  This is where it all started.  It is exciting to b a part of the committee that is trying to provide a huge part of the program that has been missing to the confined alcoholic.  We are having our H&I Conference in Vallejo in May.
