We welcome Bill M. to the Newsletter Team. Bill joined in October, after taking the newsletter survey and contacting the team.

With long-term sobriety, Bill wanted a different type of service position and hoped to make use of his love of writing. He proposed a monthly column focused on sponsorship, a special interest of his, and his debut post for the Sponsorship Cafe feature is in this issue (there was a trial post in the November issue, which was the most popular post of that issue).

In addition, Bill may take on other roles with the newsletter; we all wear many hats, and Bill is a quick study. We look forward to working with him.

If you are interested in finding out more about doing service for the newsletter, contact us at newsletter@eastbayaa.org
