The Keep It Simple Sunday (K.I.S.S.) meeting in Visalia is an outdoor meeting: we move the time twice a year to warmer or cooler times. Beginning March 9th, we will meet at 9 AM instead of 10 AM. Please tell your friends.

It’s that time of year again, where we prepare to let A.A. World Services in New York know what we members would like them to consider. But before we send our Delegate to New York, we need to figure out what we want. Saturday, March 22, 2025, from 11 AM to 3 PM at the Porterville Twelve Step Recovery Club we have our Area 7 Delegate Matt L. and Area 7 Chair members coming to host the workshop. There will be food, too.

The workshop will be hybrid and members can also join Zoom.  
Please help spread the word about the workshop and let Mike C (our District Committee Member) know if you have any questions.

This new meeting has a focus on newcomers who want to learn more about AA.

The Saturday night meeting at Bridge Street Drunks Only is moving from 7 PM to 6 PM, and is also changing its format to start with a 10-minute speaker, followed by open discussion. Although most of the meetings at BSDO are Closed meetings, this meeting is an Open meeting.

Closed meetings are for A.A. members only, or for those who have a drinking problem and “have a desire to stop drinking.”

Open meetings are available to anyone interested in Alcoholics Anonymous’ program of recovery from alcoholism. Nonalcoholics may attend open meetings as observers.

Probably our last planning meeting before New Year’s Eve, the planning committee and anyone who wants to volunteer are invited to our 2024 New Year’s Eve Event Planning Committee Meeting at 5 PM on Zoom Tuesday December 17, 2024.

We’ll set up the Zoom equipment at Central Office, but the meeting will mostly be on Zoom so that people don’t have to travel all the way to Central Office for just the one hour.

If you have pre-sale tickets you have sold, please either attend the meeting, or before the meeting let Carol Ann know how many you have sold.

Two members of the Central Office Board are at the end of their term limits. Tomorrow night at the CSR meeting, an election will be held to replace the two board members who are leaving. If you would like to be on the board, or know someone who does, be present and get nominated tomorrow night, Tuesday December 10, 2024. You can also attend via Zoom.

Does the stress of this holiday make taking a drink look like a good idea? Go to a meeting instead!

The Lemoore Alano Club will be open from 9 AM to 10 PM on Thursday, November 28, running marathon meetings. AA and NA welcome. You don’t have to be lonely or stressed out by family; you can take a break and get to a meeting of like-minded friends (or new friends).

For the month of December, only, the Springville Sunday Speaker Breakfast Meeting will meet one week earlier, on Sunday December 1st. Same great fellowship, same great meal: simply one week earlier than normal. In January, it will be back to the normal second Sunday schedule.
