HELP RESTART SOPYPAA
Due to a current lack of critical mass of young people in AA in the southern Peninsula / northern Santa Clara county area,
SOPYPAA has decided to stop meeting as a committee as of September 2011. This does not necessarily mean that SOPYPAA is
dead nor that there is not a need for young people support in this area. The committee is just not currently meeting.
If you desire to be of service to young people in AA in this area and would like to help restart the SOPYPAA committee
join the Yahoo Group and get your friends in the rooms to do the same. All the materials and website exist. SOPYPAA just needs warm bodies to
fill the vital committee positions.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SOPYPAA_BIZ/
or send an email to:
SOPYPAA_BIZ-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking, and SOPYPAA does not turn anyone away who
desires to be of service.
Our Purpose
SOPYPAA is a service committee whose purpose is to unify young people in AA, and outreach the message of
Alcoholics Anonymous to all young people in northern Santa Clara and southern San Mateo Counties
including the communities of Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Stanford University, Mountain View, Los Altos,
Los Altos Hills, Sunnyvale, Portola Valley, and East Palo Alto.
We accomplish this by sponsoring young peoples meetings and events in our area of service. We also
work in cooperation with other area YPAAs to bid for conferences and co-host larger events. Finally, we
provide informational outreach to other local institutions and organizations including college campuses,
and recovery centers.
If you would like to be involved with SOPYPAA, come to the committee meeting AND join the Yahoo Group-
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SOPYPAA_BIZ/
or send an email to:
SOPYPAA_BIZ-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking, and we do not turn anyone away who
desires to be of service.
YPAA Websites
If you would like your YPAA's link listed here, please email us at webmaster@sopypaa.org. All we ask in return is that you add a link to us on your website.
SOPYPAA Archives
Stay Tuned. We are a new committee, so we don't have archives yet ;-)
SOPYPAA Committee Positions
Want to be involved? Come to our monthly business meeting. If you don't see a position below that is available, suggest a new one. The best way to stay sober is to be of service. We take the 3rd Tradition (The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking) very seriously, as the program of AA can be the difference between life and death for the suffering alcoholic. And for this reason, we DO NOT turn away anyone who wishes to be of service on our committee.
