Lake-Sumter Central Office
-
The primary purpose of the Lake-Sumter Central Office, a.k.a AA Lake-Sumter Intergroup, is to connect all the AA groups in Lake and Sumter County Florida. It is staffed by volunteers who are members of AA. There is one paid position which is the admin, who does all the accounting and banking. We are currently open three days a week from 10 am – 2 pm (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday). We are always looking for volunteers!
The Intergroup Steering Committee is responsible for running the office. Intergroup representatives vote on decisions proposed by the steering committee – Each group can have one representative and the more groups that are involved the better we can serve the groups. Anyone can attend a Steering and Representative meeting but only listen at steering meetings and each Intergroup rep can cast a vote.
The AA Hotline is staffed by volunteers 24 hours a day – 7 days a week.
For more information about the 24-hour hotline – visit https://aalakesumter.org/hotline-2/.
