Goal · 7 minutes

Know the ways to put the magazines in more hands, and where to send people to buy.

Key points

A subscription for the group

The group conscience can vote a home-group subscription for the literature table: print, digital or both. The Shop page compares them.
Gifts for someone you know

A gift subscription or gift certificate makes a thoughtful present for a sponsee, a friend or a sobriety anniversary.
Carry the Message: for someone you don't know

Buy a Carry the Message gift and the magazine office gives it to an alcoholic in need, such as someone in prison. Several cost less each, so a group or district can buy them together.
Book of the Month

Grapevine and La Viña each put a book on sale for a limited time. Mention it during announcements while the offer lasts.
Send people to the official stores

Orders, renewals and address changes go through the official stores or their customer service. Our Shop page gathers the links, prices and order forms.

Bring the order forms to the next business meeting and propose one group subscription and one Carry the Message gift.

Who in your community could a Carry the Message gift reach?
