What Is Area 32?
Area 32 is part of the General Service structure of Alcoholics Anonymous and consists of the Eastern half of Michigan's lower peninsula, except for the greater Detroit area. We have 14 Districts in our Area with approximately 600 registered groups. Our area assembly meets on the first Sunday of every other month, beginning with February, with a different district hosting it each time.
What Is an Area Assembly Meeting?
Central Michigan IntraArea is a body of GSRs, DCMs, a Delegate, past Delegates, Trustee, and past Trustees that meet monthly to carry on the business of A.A. in eastern Michigan. The purpose of IntraArea is to resolve any group problems and exchange ideas for carrying the A.A. message to the still suffering alcoholic. Read more...

New Meeting for the Hearing Impaired
A new meeting for the hearing impaired has started at the Arid Club at 2:00 PM every Saturday. This is an open meeting so interpreters are welcome. For more information contact the Special Needs Committee at SpecialNeeds@cmia32.org.
Special Needs Resources
The Special Needs Committee recognizes that there are some alcoholics who face physical challenges on a daily basis. It is possible you have students, patients or clients with a drinking problem who might benefit from A.A.'s program of recovery. We welcome the opportunity to provide information about A.A. or about how our committee is available to try to help alcoholics have access to A.A. in our community regardless of physical challenges. Resources available include:
- Books in Braille
- Audio cassettes and CD-ROMs
- Large print publications
- American Sign Language
- Close-captioned videos
- Videos (not close-captioned)
- Illustrated, easy to read literature
- On-line A.A. meetings
We can also take meetings to alcoholics who are hospitalized, home-bound or in hospice. For more information, or to volunteer to help with special needs activities, contact the Special Needs Committee at SpecialNeeds@cmia32.org.
