Activities Subcommittee

This committee plans and carries out activities such as cookouts, speaker jams, and other fun events so that recovering addicts can fellowship and have a good time. NA activities can motivate attendance by increasing awareness of how the fellowship helps us as members in our personal recovery. Some events are free, while others serve as fundraisers, which are important to generate funds to help carry the message of recovery locally and around the world. Each year, the Activities Subcommittee hosts a Harvest Fest in November and a Winter Fest in December. Both events are free and provide food, speakers, and time to connect with other recovering addicts. Other events are held throughout the year. The Greater New Brunswick Area is currently seeking an Activities Subcommittee Chairperson.

Hospitals & Institutions (H&I) Subcommittee

H&I presentations carry the NA message of recovery to addicts who do not have full access to regularly scheduled Narcotics Anonymous meetings. They are intended to introduce the basics of the NA program and NA members share how Narcotics Anonymous has helped them stay clean and find a new way to live. These presentations are typically held in rehabs, detoxes, correctional facilities, and other locations where residents do not have access to regular NA meetings. H&I is an important service in our public relations efforts in NA.  When addicts seeking recovery know who we are and where to find our meetings, our efforts have been successful. 

The subcommittee meets the last Sunday of the month at 1:30 pm at RWJ Health and Wellness Center, located at 100 Kirkpatrick Street, 2nd Floor Community Room, New Brunswick. If you are an NA member interested in serving on the subcommittee, please join us at our next meeting. Questions about H&I can be emailed to gnbascnj@gmail.org.

Public Relations Subcommittee

The purpose of public relations in NA is to inform the public and the potential member about the purpose of Narcotics Anonymous, with special emphasis on the addict who still suffers. The Greater New Brunswick Area is currently seeking a Public Relations Subcommittee Chairperson. If you are interested, please attend the next Area Service Committee Meeting.

Website Subcommittee

In accordance with Narcotics Anonymous’ primary purpose of carrying the message of recovery to the addict that still suffers, this committee provides easily accessible information regarding the Greater New Brunswick Area of Narcotics Anonymous.
