Host Groups Needed for Speaker Meeting

May 13, 2025 By webmaster

The Speaker Meeting will die if we don’t have host groups volunteering.

If every group was willing to host the meeting regularly in rotation, it would be every 2 years or so.  Smaller groups can co-host with another group.

Requirements:
   Find speakers.  Can be just Al-Anon or AA and Al-Anon, even Alateen.  Total time to speak is about 1 hour, divided among the speakers.
   Get readers for the 5 readings (to be supplied by Speaker Meeting Coordinator)
   Help to open facility and set up appropriately
   Help with birthday chips, asking people to come forward and giving them the proper chip.
   Pass the basket for 7th Tradition.
   Optional but nice:  bring food for potluck, cake for birthday celebration
   Clean up the room before leaving

Please use the following checklist to collect information and then upload it to the Speaker Meeting Coordinator prior to the meeting.  Speaker Mtg Sign Up Sheet

To sign up your group, upload the Speaker Meeting Sign-up Sheet, or for more information, contact the Speaker Meeting Coordinator.
