A note from the President:
The new year is now well under way and YANA is flourishing. We are financially stable, holding meetings, engaging with one another and helping others to achieve sobriety and obtain serenity in their lives. We are all here for similar reasons and I hope that each of you is finding what you need in the fellowships of AA and Al-Anon here at YANA.
From the Board:
Board Liaison to Groups: If your Meeting or Group has concerns or questions related to YANA Board Policies, the building or behaviors of individuals you can reach out to the VP of the Board and give him/her an opportunity to hear your issue/concern and bring it to the Board for resolution.

AI-Anon:
The Al-Anon Family Groups are a fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics who share their experience, strength and hope in order to solve their common problem. We Believe that alcoholism is a family illness and that changed attitudes can aid in recovery. If you care about someone who struggles with alcoholism you are qualified for Al- Anon.
