The general mission of our area public relations subcommittee

 is to inform addicts and others in the community of the

availability of recovery in Narcotics Anonymous.

The PR subcommittee is also the outstretched hand of our area

to any isolated homegroups and addicts or addicts wishing to

start a homegroup.  By phone, mail and car they make sure that no

homegroups or addicts has to go through it alone if at all possible.

 This subcommittee helps keep geographically isolated homegroups

and addicts in touch with the mainstream of our area's fellowship. 

Services provided by our PR subcommittee are also designed

to increase community awareness of Narcotics Anonymous.  

The simplest kind of PR is the production and distribution of 

 fliers throughout the community announcing that NA is available

 and that more information can be given either by calling the local

 NA information phoneline or by attending an NA meeting.  

As PR subcommittees become better developed, they often conduct

 public meetings for community members, distribute public

service announcements to local radio, television stations

and respond to public media inquiries.
