Brooklyn Intergroup's New Home

We are delighted to announce that BIGAA now has a brick and mortar address for the first time in over two decades. The lease was signed last week and we will officially move in on July 1, 2021.

1283 Prospect Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11218 - Windsor Terrace
  • This will be a business office for BIGAA, similar to NY Intergroup's business office in Manhattan. 
  • You will have easy access to literature, anniversary coins and other publications like meeting lists and newcomer packets.
  • We will also now have space to plan Brooklyn AA Fellowship activities and AA workshops.
We are excited to share the news with all of you, but this is not only an announcement - it's also a call for help. We will be needing volunteers and contributions to keep these doors open for years to come.

If you would like to volunteer to be of service at BIGAA's business office, please contact info@bigaa.org.

Free Website Services for Brooklyn Groups!!

A friendly reminder, Brooklyn Intergroup is proud to offer free service for all Brooklyn-based AA groups: You can now edit your group's page at bigaa.org.

If your group is listed on bigaa.org, then it has its own specific page. For example this is the group page for 3rd Step One Flight Up:
https://bigaa.org/ofu

We ask each group to designate a group member as the group ‘webmaster’. The webmaster only needs to have basic computer skills, we will help with the rest. This new service will allow your group to control your site information and post important information including:

  • Display anniversaries and special events
  • Link to chairperson scripts or other documents
  • Update online meeting information and passcodes
  • And much more!

To designate your group's webmaster, please fill out this form. A representative from Brooklyn Intergroup will get in touch with you soon to set up your login credentials.

(Even if your group already has its own website, you can still use your page at bigaa.org. You can link to your group's website to drive traffic in that direction.)

We will be happy to list your group if it is not listed at bigaa.org. Please send an email to info@bigaa.org to list your group and create your group's page. 

If you have no experience with web design, have no fear! If you can surf the web and compose email, you will be able to learn how to update your group's page with ease! Brooklyn Intergroup will help you every step of the way.

ANYTHING ELSE? Please send questions or comments to: info@bigaa.org

Please forward this email to anyone who can use the information, and encourage your friends and fellows to subscribe to our updates at bigaa.org. If you know of a Brooklyn meeting that's open and not listed below, please let us know at info@bigaa.org!
