Your input is appreciated

District 5's website and its newsletter, The Alagram, gratefully publish Al-Anon-related articles contributed by and of interest to District 5 AFG members. Content is not AFG World Service Conference-approved literature (CAL). Opinions expressed are strictly those of the contributors.
"Take what you like and leave the rest."

We look forward to hearing from you!
In fact, member contributions are vital!!
If you need some extra encouragement, one way to think about contributing a written share is that it's a way of practicing the 12th Step in "carrying the message" of our program.

Please contribute items via email such as:

• shares based on your experience, strength, and hope;

• shares on a topic such as a step, tradition, concept, slogan, your Al-Anon birthday, any Al-Anon topic you like!

• a group-generated share;

• trusted servants’ reports, announcements, and calls for volunteers;

• notices or articles about Al-Anon events;

• Al-Anon humor;

• short recovery sayings and inspirational quotations (reference the source);

• questions or comments;

• meetings changes (each meeting is responsible for checking under Meetings both by City and by Day to make sure all of their name, day, time, location, and codes info is up to date. Notify here with any changes. Please also inform of temporary changes, which would be posted on the News page.)

The Alagram is District 5’s newsletter. In it there are member shares, service reports, announcements and information about upcoming events. The Alagram is published every other month and is available to AFG members at their meetings. Have your Group Rep pick up copies at the District business meeting.

The District Website, in addition to the other functions it serves (check out the menu bar to your left for other pages on this site), is another distribution channel for the contents of the paper version of the newsletter. Not surprisingly, the contents of the different versions cannot be 100 percent the same. For instance, the circulating paper version publishes some things that cannot be used on the Internet. On the other hand, the advantages of the Internet lift space limits to allow more content, not to mention rapid response capabilities. The News and Events page of the website is updated monthly or more often as material is contributed. Look there for Alagram articles as well as web-only exclusives.
