This committee’s purpose is to “Bridge the Gap” between treatment and A.A. through a temporary contact. It is suggested that the temporary contact take the newcomer to a variety of A.A. meetings; introduce him or her to other A.A.’s; ensure that he or she has the phone numbers of several A.A. members, and share the experience of sponsorship and a home group.
