Annual Appeal Letter from Your Virtual Region - we need your help to carry the message!
To: Service Bodies, Groups, and Members of the Virtual Region of Overeaters Anonymous:
Your contributions make a huge difference for the Virtual Region. Thank you! What we’ve been able to achieve in the past year is outstanding. We’re taking a few minutes to share some of the wonderful new ways we’ve been able to put your 7th Tradition contributions to work.
We know that we have a solution to compulsive eating, and the Virtual Region is dedicated to carrying the message across the globe. For the region to be fully self-supporting, we all need to help get the word out to those who struggle with compulsive eating like we do.
This appeal asks you to contribute beyond what you regularly do.
Please share the annual appeal letter at all Virtual Region affiliated meetings. Click Here–
