2024-08-22 20:00 - 21:00 | Zoom Meeting
Please help us in welcoming and supporting our monthly speaker meetings. We strongly feel that having speakers, whether they are Al-Anon, Alateen or AA provides us all with opportunities to hear how each person has worked their individual programs of recovery from the effects of the family disease of alcoholism. It helps all of us to have compassion and understanding for each other.

Our speaker this month, Lyri M, Past Delegate, Panel 54, Southern Illinois. She will be focussing on the Concepts and Warranties and how she used them in her own recovery. She provides valuable insight to our groups regarding the importance of the third legacy. It will be a wonderful opportunity to help others better understand the importance of service work.

Please plan to attend and share with flyer with those who may be interested in learning more about this. It will be a wonderful opportunity to help others better understand the importance of service work.
