Bridging the Gap Local Resources

Proposed Collaboration with San Francisco H&I

Update Sat Nov 16, 2024 – Notes from SF BTG presentation at SF H&I Business Meeting

  • SF county Jails has a digital version of SF BTG literature on their client resource tablets. For any other institution that would like a one-page digital resource, you can find it at sfgeneralservice.org/btg/one-page-pdf .
  • SF BTG has also mocked up a 4″x6″ sticker that could go into the front cover of a Big Book or other literature that gives info to help anyone inside connect with their local AA fellowship through BTG. An example of that sticker is at sfgeneralservice.org/btg/sticker
  • For someone interested in reaching out to BTG, the best way is via email or USPS mail to the Area BTG committee, who will route the request to the correct district. (E.g. if you are in jail in SF and you’re returning to San Jose the request will be routed to BTG in San Jose.) An online contact request form is available for SF, but since it does not go to the Area, it should not be used in this context.
  • The Area has an already approved and published BTG flyer sfgeneralservice.org/btg/area-flyer
  • SF BTG proposes any or all of the three pieces of literature linked above to be made available to San Francisco H&I to distribute at H&I meetings.
  • An overview of BTG service in SF and how it works can be found at sfgeneralservice.org/btg/services-and-operations.
    Note: some of these linked documents take a long time to load.
  • If any district BTG committee ceases to exist, the Area BTG committee will work with that district’s general service committee to handle the incoming requests and replace their BTG committee. 
  • No one from BTG in SF has talked to NorCal H&I. Building that relationship would extend beyond the 4th tradition scope of the District 06 BTG committee in San Francisco.
