Slide 1
Focus on Giving Service
Slide 2
Why service?
It is who you meet.
Trusted servants are often very committed to their recovery.
It is a paradox.
We benefit by giving to others.
It matters.
Other members really need the help, especially newcomers.
It is one way we are self-supporting.
If we don’t do it, who will?
