OA Service Opportunities
Remember…
”God does not call the equipped.  He equips the called.”

 

Donate Literature
The OA NOVA Intergroup is having a book drive.  We are donating used OA & AA Conference Approved Literature to new meetings nationwide.  Bring in those extra fabulous books you have managed to acquire over the years and help spread the word!

We are collecting them through March 15, 2008.  For more information, please email the Communications Within committee.

Add your name to the list of available speakers willing to share their story
Online form.   Input will be shared with WSO for inclusion in their speakers list.
Speaker Sign-Up sheet for distribution at meetings and mailing to intergroup
"Speaker Getters" for meetings may request the current local speaker list here.

Sponsor a Workshop, Marathon or Retreat
The Special Events Committee is always interested in organizing workshops, marathons or retreats.  They especially appreciate groups who are willing to sponsor events by helping to put together the agenda, line up speakers and/or other volunteers, etc.   For more information, send an email to the special events committee.

Get Involved with Intergroup
NOVA Intergroup meets once a month and every OA group is encouraged to send one voting representative; however, you need not be a voting representative to participate.  This is where we learn about all kinds of special events, pick up new meeting lists and newsletters, and experience the joy of giving back what we have been so freely given by this fellowship.

Calling all Spanish Speakers
We have a population of compulsive overeaters that do not speak english.   We have started a Spanish speaking meeting on Friday mornings in Arlington.  If you are fluent in Spanish and are willing to help by leading or simply attending this meeting, please e-mail Joan at bob-joanhowe@verizon.net or call Delia P. 703-754-9237.

Share your experience, strength, and hope through the newsletter
NOVA Intergroup publishes a monthly newsletter, "Novation", with news of special events and stories from members.  The format basically includes a story about the step and tradition of the month but can also include several other stories about other topics.  This is also a great medium to announce new meetings.
Past issues can be seen on the Newsletter page.
