Welcome to Intergroup For Southern California Nicotine Anonymous

The Intergroup holds meetings on the 3rd Sunday of each month. In addition, we publish an updated Meeting List on a monthly basis which is also available at our meeting and by downloading the current Meeting Directory. Each month we complete a mailing to the groups which at a minimum includes our Financial Statement, the minutes of our meeting and a meeting schedule.

We conduct as many Panels at Hospitals and Institutions as we are asked to do. Recently we have been very successful at working with the Kaiser organization in sending panels to their Smoking Cessation Programs in our area.

Each year we conduct events of which we are very proud. These include our Annual Picnic and Election of Officers in September, and several events when interest is shown for retreats, pizza parties, exploring trails in Griffith Park and other activities when the desire for them arises.

For the last several years we have adopted the policy of suggesting to the groups in our area that they send in their donations directly to the Intergroup.  The Intergroup’s policy is to maintain a prudent reserve of six months expenses plus any committed known expenses and then forward any excess funds to World Services on a Monthly Basis. Your donations are needed and very much appreciated. We are looking forward to expanding our Public Outreach efforts to make sure we as a group are carrying the message to practicing addicts. (This suggestion for handling your donations is made within the spirit of Tradition Four. “Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or Nicotine Anonymous as a whole.”)

We want to take this opportunity to invite you to attend one of our monthly meetings. As an all volunteer organization we value the involvement of each individual.  If you have questions, please contact the Secretary Emeritus, Angela at (949) 302-8465 or email her at angela.socal9@gmail.com.

We also want to invite you to explore some of governing rules by which we conduct SCINA. This link will allow you to download the Bylaws in a computer legible file, while the Bylaws Booklet will download a file suitable for printing a booklet for you to assemble and read off-line.
