NEW MEETING OPPORTUNITY

Medina is a big city. It currently has only one Al-Anon meeting. Beverly P., a longtime member of Al-Anon has recently moved from Parma to Medina. She is starting a new meeting in Medina.  The first meeting is on June 3, 2010.  She is asking for others in Al-Anon to help get this new meeting ‘off the ground’.

The meeting location is at The Unity Life Enrichment Center at Williams on the Lake, 787 Lafayette Road (US-42), 4th building back along the lake (first driveway past Lloyds Barn). It will meet on Thursday at 7:30 PM.

If you would like to help by attending and participating in this meeting, please e-mail us at help@afgcleveland.org or call us at 216-621-1381 (M-F 9:30-3:30) and leave your first name and phone number (including whether it’s OK to leave a message). Beverly will get back to you. The information you provide will be held in strict confidence.

WE NEED HELP! - An Al-Anon Service Opportunity

Once again, we find ourselves in need of help at our downtown office.

If you’ve been active in Al-Anon for at least 1 year and have some weekday time available, please consider volunteering your time at our downtown office.  Some of our experienced volunteers are no longer able to continue in this line of service, therefore new volunteers are needed.  Volunteers typically spend 1 or 2 days per month at the office, Monday through Friday from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM.  Duties include talking with first time callers with problems, explaining the program basics to them, providing meeting information, and taking literature orders.  Men make up over 30-percent of our calls for help, and both men and women volunteers are needed.  Our volunteers are offered $8 for each day to cover transportation expenses.

Our office is located downtown, on Public Square. 

Our office location is safe, comfortable and secure.  There is parking and a bus stop nearby.  Elevator access.  Deli in the lobby.  We have a coffee maker, a small fridge and microwave in the office itself.  The skills required are basically consist of communication on the phone, locating meetings from local schedules, and filling out literature orders.  Your anonymity is protected at all times.

Notice to Group Secretaries and Others

who Announce Events

at Our Al-Anon and Alateen Meetings

Please take a cautious approach on what events to announce at your meetings.
Be especially cautious of:

• Events that will occur outside of our NE Ohio area,

• Events that require payment to a private individual,

• Events that show Al-Anon as being only a little involved, or not involved at all,

• Event flyers that are mailed to you from sources other than our Cleveland Area
  Al-Anon Office.

Better to err on the safe side.

We try hard to filter out suspicious announcements from appearing on this website, appearing in the Hi Lites, and from being mailed with literature orders.  If you see any suspicious announcements on this website, in the Hi Lites or that are 'floating around', please contact us.
