As we start this year with the “Back to Basics” theme, the first area I would like to concentrate on is – THE NEWCOMER.
It is often said at meetings that the newcomer is the most important person in an Al-Anon meeting. What can we do to insure that the Newcomer feels safe and welcome?
• Do we have members welcome a Newcomer? Do we hold a Newcomer meeting?
• What literature do we provide?
• Do we provide phone numbers of fellow members that the Newcomer can call?
• Is our meeting safe? Inviting? Accessible to all?
These are just the start of some questions that I would like to address as we begin our journey to strengthen the base of our Al-Anon meetings.
We will be holding a Public Outreach ZOOM call for all District Public Outreach Coordinators as well as any member that is interested on Thursday, June 13th at 7:30 PM. The purpose of this call will be to brainstorm on ideas on welcoming and embracing Newcomers in our groups. Zoom information is below. Please feel free to share with your group.
