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.

In observance of Veteran’s Day, Central Office will be closed Friday November 10th.

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.

A long history of A.A. experience has shown that attending meetings regularly is critical. One of the more “slippery” places in the journey to sobriety is between the door of a treatment facility or institution and the nearest A.A. group or meeting.

In order to bridge the gap, A.A. members have volunteered to be temporary contacts and introduce newcomers to Alcoholics Anonymous.

It is suggested that the temporary contact take the newcomer to a variety of A.A. meetings, introduce the newcomer to other members of A.A., insure that he or she has the phone numbers of several A.A. members, and share the experience of sponsorship and a home group.

You too can help by joining our Bridging The Gap committee meeting October 7, 2023 at 11 AM at the Central Office in Exeter. You can also join via Zoom.
