Greetings, fellow Nar-Anon and Narateen Members,
Recovery from the family disease of addiction springs from Tradition Five. Yet, newcomers finding Nar-Anon and our shared healing rely on the vital services provided by our World Service Office. These services are sustained solely by the Tradition Seven contributions made by our members, groups, regions, and national service offices (see Tradition Seven in Our Traditions Principles for Groups and Beyond and our Guide to Local Services sections 6-5, 9-1, 9-3). As our financial meter shows, 2026 contributions continue to fall short, threatening cutbacks in critical World Service Office activities.
We reach out to you today as fellow Nar-Anon and Narateen members. Please consider making a contribution through one of the pathways below to keep this lifeline healthy and alive.
With love and gratitude,
Your World Service Board
