| NOTE:Spring Quarterly Meeting Postponement. Quarterly Area Meeting FROM April 18 to a new date of MAY 16. The meeting facilities were not available for the April date. The meeting will occur on Saturday May 16th at 1:30 pm at the Family Life Center of the 2nd Ponce de Leon Church. 2. Agenda Issues: Question: should the meeting date be moved from the 3rd Saturday of January, April, July and October to other dates. Some officers and group reps are having difficulty with the "3rd Saturday", so other suggestions will be welcomed. Question: would anyone like to propose other locations for area meetings? Even rotation of meeting locations from one meeting to the next? We are hopeful of encouraging participation from all groups regardless of their location in the State. Question: does anyone have a topic or suggestion for activities or educational programs. For example, in the past there has been a picnic, and recently a seminar was conducted on the 'Faces of Sponsorship" which was very well received. Millie suggested "How to conduct a group conscious" as a possible workshop. March 14, 2009 - Saturday : 1:30 pm "The Faces of Sponsorship" Open Location: 2nd Ponce de Leon Baptist Church, 76 East Wesley Road, NE, Atlanta, GA. 30305 Family Center (behind the main church)* To many of us the word NarAnon means “sharing.” There is strength in the support, experience, and encouragement which we find in our meetings.

The step study group is open to any Nar-Anon member who wishes to attend one week or all 12. The Nar-Anon Family Group is not affliated with any outside enterprises and neither endorses or opposes any causes. Our primary spritual aim is to recover from the devastating effect that addiction has had on our lives by practicing the 12 Steps ourselves, by welcoming and giving comfort to families of addicts and carrying the message to others. Anyone may join us regrdless of age, race or sexual oreintation, the only requirement is that there be a problem of addiction in a relative or friend. If you are interested in how since 12 Step recovery works, please join us. Here's a sample.... One of the primary reasons that taking the first step was possible, was the first word of recovery. Do you know what that word is? The first word of recovery is "We" that's you and me, because you had already admitted you had a problem so could I.
