The Tulare County Bridging The Gap committee meets in-person at Central Office in Exeter on the first Saturday of the month. This meeting has been moved from 11 AM to noon. We will also set up Zoom for remote attendees.

Bridging The Gap is a Ninth Tradition service committee where members serve as temporary contacts for newcomers leaving treatment (“bridging the gap between the facility and their first AA meetings”).

If you would like to volunteer for this type of service, please join us at our committee meeting. We are preparing service material so that our committee members learn what we do, what we don’t do, and how this service work is best done.

General Service Representatives (GSRs) meet once a month on the first Wednesday of the month. For the November meeting, we will start 30 minutes later than normal, this month only. Attendance may still be in-person at Central Office, or via Zoom. We will have nominations for the election next month, and discuss plans for the Election Assembly in Placerville next month.

Keep It Simple Sunday is an outdoor meeting at Blain Park in Visalia. Because it is an outdoor meeting, we move the time later in winter for warmer weather, and earlier in summer for cooler weather. Come join us – it is a beautiful setting for a meeting.

The Primary Purpose Group is beginning a NEW 12 Step Workshop, beginning Monday October 16th, 2023. This workshop goes for 24 weeks. It is important to get in at the beginning, so put it on your calendar. This in-depth workshop will help you understand and work the Twelve Steps completely.

The Primary Purpose Group chose to delay the start one week, from the 9th to the 16th – so you still have time to get in!

Would you like to be of help with the New Year’s Eve Party? We are having a planning meeting this afternoon at the Central Office in Exeter, from 6:00 to 6:45 PM. If you can’t make it in-person to Exeter, we will also have the meeting on Zoom.

Our wrap up meeting for Soberfest 2023 will be Wednesday the October 4th, 2023. Team captains and volunteers, please plan attend.
