Featured Service Opportunity

Host Groups are needed for First Friday meetings in September, November, and December. Groups will provide snacks, coordinate greeters and readers, and collect the 7th Tradition (you do not need to provide a speaker). This is a great opportunity to do service—as a meeting.
