Petaluma Hotline

 

The Petaluma hotline steering committee met on Sunday February 15 to discuss the future of the local hotline. It was decided that the hotline would continue on a month to month basis so long as there is sufficient financial support from local meetings, and there are enough volunteers to staff the hotline.

Here is what we need:

 1.     VOLUNTEERS – Of 28 shifts, there are currently only 13 covered. The requirements are 1 year of continuous sobriety and a working knowledge of the steps. Volunteers would be responsible for a weekly scheduled shift. Calls would be forwarded directly to them during that period of time. You would be answering scheduling questions as well as talking to alcoholics in need. Please contact us to see what shifts are available.

 2.     FINANCIAL SUPPORT – Many groups have contributed in the past but support has dwindled over the last couple of years. We would like to get the word out about the current status of the hotline so that groups can decide whether they can afford to or are interested in contributing. If your group would like more information or would like someone from the hotline to attend your steering committee please contact us.
 Please join us at the next steering committee meeting on Sunday, March 22 @ 9:00am at the Alano Club.  We look forward to hearing all ideas and opinions regarding the hotline.
