Information about being a 'member'

: Category: Privacy / Terms; 17 July 2024

Are you wondering what all this business is about being a member and logging in?

Well, to view certain sections of this website such as minutes of service meetings, group guidelines, and even certain events like ‘birthday’ celebrations, you need to be a member of a group in District 10 or District 21, that is to say, any group in the Greater Hamilton Area, including Hamilton, Hamilton mountain, Lynden, Binbrook (Glanbrook), Dundas, plus Hagersville, Stoney Creek, Winona, and Caledonia.

So if you are a member of an AA group in one of these areas, you are automatically a member, but you need the username and password. You will need to ask your group’s LCM (Local Committee Member) or GSR (General Service Representative) for them. Simple.

But why do we do this? It’s just one way we try to ensure the anonymity and confidentiality of our AA members which we hold to be of utmost importance.
