PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE
ASKS FOR YOUR HELP
As we start the New Year we will attempt all year to reach
those compulsive gamblers who are still suffering
to share our experience, strength, and hope with them.We will reach out to treatment centers, media
outlets, community centers, community speaking
opportunities…
We ask for your help in identifying outreach opportunities. We
are looking to form a team of speakers who would fill in
for opportunities we find to speak to both the recovery
community and our communities at-large.
Contact us at
publicrelations@gachicago.org
if you have ideas for outreach and/or want to be on a
list of members who can help us reach those who are
still suffering. We are asking you because who
better to teach us than those who have been on the other
side.
She will submit
them to the ISO to be listed in the Bulletin for the entire GA
Fellowship to celebrate!
