Accessibilities Committee Fast Responders
Direct link to access the Sign-Up Form
Fast Responders are members of Alcoholics Anonymous who have volunteered to carry the A.A. message of hope to A.A. members who are unable to attend meetings on their own due to accessibility issues. These may include members who are in convalescent facilities, hospitals or homebound. Fast Responders often carry the message when and where no one else can. It is vitally important that the A.A. message is carried to all who wish to hear it, and it is the responsibility of its members to carry that message.
The list is location conscience so Fast Responders are minimizing drive time to be of service. If you are interested in signing up scan the QR code below, follow this link, or contact the Area 33 Accessibilities Committee Chairperson at gro.imes-aa.gnigats@riahcseitilibissecca33aera.
Thank you for your time and service.

Accessibilities Committee Overview
The members of the Accessibilities Committee explore, develop and offer alternatives in order to carry the A.A. message, and to involve alcoholics with disabilities into our program. While there are no special A.A. members, many have accessibility issues. Accessibility issues can be defined as members with visual, hearing or speech impairments, hospitalized, convalescing, and those that are homebound. Someone who uses a walker, wheelchair or crutches, has physical and/or mental challenges, and those with ambulatory issues also receive our help. Veterans and non-English speaking members who need assistance are also accommodated. Whatever their disability or challenge to receiving the A.A. message may be, it is hoped that they will never be excluded from A.A. meetings, 12 step work or A.A. service.If you would like to volunteer or know someone in need, please contact the Accessibilities Chair. gro.imes-aa.gnigats@seitilibissecca33aera.
Deaf Access Sub-Committee Overview
We are a group of A.A members within Area 33 who work together to coordinate A.S.L. Interpreters for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing members of A.A. Our purpose is to assist the Deaf member to gain access to the A.A. message of Recovery, Unity, and Service.
It is difficult for an individual deaf person or one group to support the financial responsibility of interpreted meetings.
Contributions of any amount are appreciated from individuals, groups, and districts. We rely on the 7th tradition of contributions ,of any amount, to support this cause.
How you can contribute: Make checks or money orders payable to D.A.C.
