Willamette Valley Intergroup is a non-profit corporation whose purpose (outlined in the bylaws) is to encourage mutual support and cooperation between groups in the Willamette Valley community.
WVI is funded by 7th tradition contributions made by District 4 individual members and A.A. groups.
Our purpose is to serve District 4 groups, meetings, and members to reach their “primary purpose,” which is “to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.” (“Preamble,” www.aasalem.org/meeting-resources and www.aa.org)
Online we accomplish this goal by –
- Providing updated meeting information as provided by groups and meetings representatives.
