Online Meeting Sign Ups! Nov-Jan
Hello! We have been blessed to have an AWESOME anchor for the past 3.5 years in movingalong. But. . .she can't do it alone. And she is. . .moving along ;)
We decided in the PA business meeting that the same person doesn't have to anchor each week. Hence a sign up sheet. This is where to sign up if you would like to anchor. Just reply to the post for the week you want to anchor (and don't forget!!!).
The meetings start at 2:30 PM New York Time.
If you are new to PA, you too can anchor! All it is is that you need to show up and make sure the meeting happens. The anchor can lead but doesn't have to.
The link for the meeting notes will be up soon.
Please show up so we can keep this going! <3

Katia:
I would like to sign up, however, I don't want to let you down if I get a job where I work on Sundays.
Could I sign up for November 13 and then let you know as soon as I get a job and can't make it.
sounds good!
Sounds good Innertruth.
That will be how it will work to anyone else who was wondering. Work it out here on the thread amongst yourselves :)

Business meeting will also be today, since the last Sunday of the month is Dec 25th, and lots of people celebrate on that day.
Will anchor and lead Dec 18th meeting
I'll do this one, but would prefer someone else led the business meeting if possible. As movingalong says, you can just volunteer on the day.
Hope to see you there!
thanks findingaway :)
thanks for helping out!
Dec. 18, 2011: Regular AND Business mtg: Clarification
NOTE: For those signing up to lead the meeting:
There will be TWO meetings on December 18th, 2011.
We will have a regular 12step meeting in the "meeting chatbox"
beginning at the regular time
(7:30pm UTC Sunday or 2:30pm NewYorkTime Sunday).
This will last approximately one hour.
THIS regular meeting is the only meeting that we're asking someone to sign up to lead on this date.
Immediately following the Dec 18th meeting, we will go directly into having a "Business Meeting", which is where we discuss meeting protocols -- such as format, timing, scheduling, and other organizational matters of the group.
All are welcome.
We try to make the business meeting as brief as possible.
We don't ask people to sign up in advance to lead the business meeting. Usually someone volunteers on the spot to lead the business meeting.
*** So you don't have to lead both meetings!
(you don't even have to attend both meetings).
As was noted above, we normally have business meetings on the last Sunday of every month, but we've moved it to Dec 18th for this month.

Regarding the the chatbox 12step meeting on 1st January 2012:
As nobody else has signed up to "host" the meeting. I'm willing to do it.
~~~ BUT ~~~
I have a prior commitment for the morning, and therefore might arrive at the 12step meeting late.
Would one of you please be willing to open the meeting -- get it started on time?
This would just be for the first 10 minutes.
(Once I arrive, you could leave if you have other plans/needs for the day).

seeking host for this Sunday's online chat 12-Step meeting
Hi, Folks,
I've hosted the last couple of Sunday online chat 12-Step meetings, and I could host tomorrow's as well (Sunday, Jan 29), but it would be great if someone else were available and willing to host the 12-Step chat meeting, this week, as I have more commitments than usual.
Meeting time is:
Sunday 7:30pm GMT (UTC) / British Standard time, which is
Sunday 2:30 PM Eastern USA Standard time, or
Monday 6:30 AM Sydney Australia DAYLIGHT Time or 5:30 AM Sydney Australia STANDARD Time , or
Monday 8:30 AM New Zealand DAYLIGHT Time or 7:30 AM New Zealand STANDARD Time Mondays
The meeting is nominally one hour long, but sometimes is extended by vote of the participants. This week is scheduled to have a business meeting after the 12-Step meeting (rather than the usual post-12-Step-Meeting social chat), but you're not obligated to host that, or even to attend it.
Skills needed for hosting the meeting: showing up on time, cutting and pasting from the very complete and helpful PA chatbox 12step meeting format: updated December 2011 into the chatbox, and being friendly about explaining as needed.
This week, the Step of the Week for discussion is Step Ten. The Recovery Tool of the Week for discussion is
Tool #8: Keep a Time Log. Details on that step and that tool are included at the link above.
Are you willing to host this week's meeting?
This is a great way to be of service, especially as we've had several newcomers attend in the last few weeks.
If you're willing to host, please sign up by replying to this message or its parent message. Thanks for considering!
belated thanks to wrkinprogrss for Jan 29
Sending a belated thanks to wrkinprogrss --
who ended up anchoring/leading the January 29th meeting herself.
Much appreciated!
