Why YouTube???

Standard

Frequently Asked Questions about the

A.A.W.S./G.S.O. YouTube Channel

Q. Why YouTube?
A. The YouTube Nonprofit Program is a powerful tool that will allow Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc. to accomplish three goals:
a. Share A.A. video content more broadly in a contemporary medium while improving our search engine optimization; making A.A. easier to find.
b. House A.A.W.S. video content in a location which gives local service structures and Intergroups the ability to embed this video content directly into their websites.
c. Measure and improve engagement with the general public, professional community, those seeking help, and local service structures.

Due to a glitch, our Mail Box was not renewed in time, so some mail was returned. That has been rectified. Though late, we managed to retain the same box number. If returned, please try again.

Thanks for your patience.

Yes, not only have they changed from 4th Sunday to the 2nd Sunday, they have a new meeting location, which allows them to have keys to the room. The room rent is not only less but for longer time.

Any questions can be referred to the DCM at cniadistrict11@gmail.com.

Glitch with Internet Explorer…

Standard

To all users of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer.

A recent upgrade to IE seemingly, on certain platforms, refuses to recognize Google’s Calendar of Events.

But if you use F5 or Ctrl-R to refresh, it seems to clear the glitch.

Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Silk are not affected.

We are still diagnosing the glitch. If you have problems with the Calendar, and can’t clear it, please let us know by either a reply to this posting, or emailing cniadistrict11 at gmail dot com. Note: Use @ and . symbols in the address (fools the robots by spelling it out).

Again, the glitch only seems to affect IE on Windows-based processors (not sure exactly what versions… 7 for sure). Or use a different browser.
