In April, Al-Anon’s 66th World Service Conference will convene in Newport News, Virginia, USA. The Conference, Al‑Anon’s annual business meeting, provides guidance to the World Service Office (WSO) on service matters that are brought to its attention.

Delegates and other trusted servants enjoy receiving mail from members and groups in their Areas while they are at the Conference. We invite you to send cards and notes of support to Conference members. We ask that members and groups refrain from mailing boxes, packages, or large envelopes (love gifts) to the hotel as Conference members who wish to share love gifts with other attendees will be limited to what they can carry with them to and from Conference.

Name (Hold for WSC 4/20-4/24, 2026)

740 Town Center Dr.

Please plan to have your mail arrive after April 17. Remember to use your trusted servant’s name and home address as the return address in case mail delivery is delayed.
