Some speakers are still needed between 3 PM and 1 AM
Motions Passed:
The Intergroup has been wrestling with the concern around leaderless meetings. The Monday thru Friday 7 PM meetings along with the Saturday and Sunday 6 PM meetings are all literature meetings which study either the 12 & 12 or the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. After about a year, it appears that these meetings remain leaderless with no support. There has been a proposal to “close” these meetings which would mean that these meetings would be removed from our website calendar. The Intergroup requests that if a group has an objection to closing these meetings, please come to the April Intergroup meeting with the names of the people who will lead and take responsibility for the meeting they want to keep open. Any meeting which remains leaderless after our April Intergroup meeting will be removed from the calendar.
