What is a "Meeting Anchor"?

The "anchor of the day" shows up on time and makes sure the meeting gets started.  The anchor doesn't have to lead the meeting.  You just need to show up and then direct whoever wishes to lead on where to find the format.

It doesn't happen often, but sometimes you arrive and find yourself alone.  If this is the case, you start the meeting and keep going, pasting in the format by yourself, talking to your own version of 'higherpower'. Starting meetings on time is part of our recovery.   Procrastinators are often latecomers, so you know that other PA members will arrive soon and you won't be alone. If you build it, they will come.


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 remember to do it!!!).

If you are new to PA, you too can anchor! All you need to do is to show up on time and make sure the meeting happens.


FORMAT:
Our meeting format is at the following link:

This sign-up sheet goes from May through July, 2012 (plus the start of August).

A new sign-up sheet will be posted at the beginning of August 2012.

:) :) :) Please sign up and show up, so that we can keep this wonderful resource going! :) :) :)

Thank you Lennon for your service!

movingalong anchored June 10th online PA mtg

I was able to "anchor" (get it started); and then actually facilitate the meeting
... but the meeting happens thanks to everyone who appears and makes it possible, and thanks to the group higherpower who is the real leader.

movingalong can anchor first part of June 17 online PA 12stepMtg

I can "anchor" on June 17th -- in that I can get the meeting going and greet everyone, and paste in the readings that the meeting-leader does during first part of the meeting.

(I can lead the first 20 minutes---
maybe even the first 30 minutes of the meeting).

But then I have to leave for an appointment.

We will need other(s) to take over leading from me when I leave.  Remember that anyone can do it. Newcomers welcome!  I'm sure that from amongst those present, someone will be able to transition into leading the day's meeting.

many thanks to pro for leading 2nd half of June 17th mtg!

and sometimes it's not announced until shortly beforehand,
so check your local news to verify.

July 22, 2012 worldwide time for chatbox 12step meeting

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?continent=asia&sort=1&iso=20120722T1930
Above time link is 22 July 2012 detail for Asia,
useful in finding locations in the Middle East.


The time changes are in Morroco and Western Sahara,
in North Africa.
Those two locations went to "standard time" when Ramadan 2012 began.
Here is timezone detail for Africa for 22 July, 2012:
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?continent=africa&sort=1&iso=20120722T1930

During Ramadan 2012, Morroco and Western Sahara will be
in same time zone as British Winter Time --
which is same as most of Western Africa.
Therefore, in that timezone our chatbox meeting starts Sundays 7:30pm.
