- Newcomers — a "For Newcomers" section and a "Find a Meeting" tool

Monthly Intergroup Meeting
The intergroup holds its monthly meeting at 7 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of each month at One United Church of Christ, 1730 New Holland Rd., Reading, PA 19607. The site provides a "Get Directions" link for this location. This meeting is a way to connect with the intergroup in person rather than through the phone or email channels.
What the Intergroup Covers
Reading-Berks Intergroup is made up of member AA groups located within Berks County, Pennsylvania. It is one of 11 intergroups in the Area 59 Eastern Pennsylvania General Service Area. If your question concerns AA coordination in Berks County specifically, this is the appropriate body to contact; for matters outside that area, another intergroup or the general service structure would apply.
A Note on Endorsement
The website states that it is not endorsed or approved by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc. or any internet provider. Some items on the site may have been published by A.A. World Services, Inc., but their use does not imply approval by the General Service Conference. This matters if you need to cite the intergroup as an official AA body — it operates as a local service entity, not as a World Services outlet.
