Our Web Committee Needs Your Help

999

This is where I turn it over to my higher power and ask for help. The Web Committee has a lot of responsibilities and it’s frankly too much for just a couple people.

“Jeez, I want to help but this stuff looks really technical. I don’t have those skills!”
Don’t worry. If you’re comfortable using Microsoft Office, you can easily learn all this stuff. If that’s you and you’re an enthusiastic learner, I’m happy to train you.

“Okay, I’m excited! How to I make myself available?”
Just email me, webstuff@eastsideaa.org. Please include your contact info, sobriety date and any relevant experience.
