“Intergroup” might well be thought of as the short version of “Al-Anon Information Service (A.I.S.)
Intergroup Coordination Committee” because that would be a pretty good description. It is a
committee of volunteers from Al-Anon Family Groups in Districts 6 - 10, covering all of the greater
Sacramento area and beyond. It holds monthly meetings to coordinate the activities of Al-Anon groups
in shared activities aimed at “carrying the message” for Al-Anon and Alateen throughout its geographic
area.
