Tri-County Intergroup was established in the fall of 2006 following a continued discussion of meeting local needs and resources that groups and districts alone were unable to provide.
A decision was made to establish an Intergroup completely separate from the then “Droste Meeting Hall.” A set of bylaws were drafted, a temporary location was secured, and a new board elected to find a permanent site.
After concluding there was a way forward without a storefront, Tri-County Intergroup, in Area 38, operates as a virtual office and Tri-County Intergroup self-serve shelf. The Intergroup provides services to AA groups and individuals through a 24-hour phone hotline, technology services like a website with access to our three districts’ websites, Sobriety Sentinel publication, literature distribution of varied scale, and event coordination. The Intergroup continues to support the goal of making Alcoholics Anonymous resources accessible throughout the Tri-County region up-to-date
