A message from the Debtors Anonymous General Service Office:
New D.A. Manual for Service Available For Purchase
The new Debtors Anonymous Manual for Service, D.A.’s first comprehensive service guide for groups and trusted servants, is now available from the General Service Office.
The 142-page book is the result of several years of work by the General Service Board, and features detailed information about many aspects of the Fellowship’s Twelve-Step work. The DAMS costs $8.00 plus shipping. The literature order forms found on the D.A. web site have been modified to include it.
The new manual was published in late summer 2011, and was distributed to all delegates at the 25th annual World Service Conference in August. Extra copies quickly sold out, and a second print run is now available.
Chapters in the manual include Principles of Service, Service at the Group Level, Intergroup Service, Public Information, World Service, Appointed Committee Members, Literature, the General Service Board, General Service Office, D.A. newsletters, and Commentaries on the Twelve Concepts for D.A. World Service.
Among the numerous other topics covered are tips on how to start groups and Intergroups, manage treasuries, and conduct business meetings, the spiritual value of rotation of service, anonymity and social media, Regional Forums, D.A.’s intellectual property, and detailed information on where the Fellowship’s money comes from and how it is spent, with illustrations in color.
To order the manual, simply go to the world service web site www.debtorsanonymous.org and download a literature order form, or contact the GSO for more information.
