Getting Involved

PLEASE HELP US TO IMPLEMENT THE 9TH TRADITION IN THIS AREA.  WE WERE THE ONLY STATE THAT DIDN'T HAVE A FUNCTIONING CENTRAL OFFICE.  NOW WE HAVE A VISIBLE LINK TO THE COMMUNITY.  THE TIME HAS COME FOR THIS NOBLE ENTITY TO RISE UP AND SPREAD THE MESSAGE THAT WE ARE HERE AND WE CAN HELP.

Volunteer Your Time
 
We need volunteers who are willing to use their experience, strength and hope to help the suffering alcoholic begin the recovery process.  Also, we act as a information center for people searching for meetings in our HMB area or in other worldwide locations.  We have contact information for, almost, any country in the civilized world.   Our volunteers answer phones and provide the traveler with this information to keep them in in touch with AA wherever they might go.

We need people on the 11am to 3pm shift and the 3pm to 7pm shift to answer phones at the Central Office at  575 Broadway, Menands, NY. Also, we need "Night Owls" to man the phones from 7pm this day  to 11am next day.  These are people who volunteer in their own homes to take calls from people in need of information or help.  These calls are transfered to the Night Owl when the office is closed at 7pm.  The next day, the on duty volunteer will transfer the phone back to the Central Office at 11am.
Please call 463-0906 ask the volunteer to put your name on the list of potential volunteers for day or night duty.  The Volunteer Coordinator will contact you with more information.  Also,  training is provided for any position that you decide to work in.

Register for an Upcoming Event

Contact the volunteer or night owl at 463-0906 to ask them to sign you up for the event or events described on the "Recent and Upcoming Events" page.
