Speaker Meeting & Choosing a Group Name

Good evening,
This Wednesday we've got a speaker meeting. If someone is feeling up to the task of sharing their experience strength and hope please let me know. Otherwise, we'll be picking someone randomly from the Crown Royal bag (always a favorite of mine). Also, you can find the updated schedule for the next few months down below.
The hunt for our group name continues. I will continue to take suggestions until next week. At that time I plan on a doing eliminatory style voting in-order to select the top name. First we'll vote on the top 4 names, then the top 2 names, and then finally we'll select a name.

The suggestions that still push forward for now are:

The Wednesday Night...
  • Hole in the Doughnut Group
  • Missing Marble Group
  • Last Call at the Riverside Group
  • Highly Unlikely Group
  • Sons of Sobriety Group
  • Breaking Good Group
  • Riders on the Storm Group
  • Hell and Back Group
  • Riverside Men's Group
  • Hokey-Pokey Group (That's what its all about)
  • Novocaine Group (Helps you get over your sensitivity) 
Love 'em or Hate 'em, you've got until next week to send in your suggestion. Speak now or forever hold your tongue! 
Happy 24hrs,
David t.

A Drunk, Like You p398-406

Hi everyone, My apologies on sending this out late this week, I've been battling a little bit of a cold lately. Anywho, I'd like to thank Dave W. for sharing his excellent story with us last week, nothing helps recovery along like a heavy dose of humor & depravity and Jesus Dave delivered in spades!! Also I'd like to remind everyone of the upcoming AA convention in Manuel Antonio that's taking place from May 6-8th. We're still working on the details of organizing our group to get out there but let me know if your interested and go online to  register now  -  It's FREE!!  (to register anyways, you pay later!!) This week we'll be reading  A Drunk, like You p398-406 . This was the first time for me reading it and I got a lot out of it. Aside from the fact that I always love listening to another  Member of the Tribe  breaking barriers by showing that alcoholism is no respecter of race, religion or creed, proving you  jew *i mean too*  ...

The Perpetual Quest p388-397

Good evening everyone, Before I get to the weekly reminder, I wanted to inform everyone, if you didn't know already, that this years  Manual Antonio AA International Convention  is coming up. The convention will be May 6, 7 & 8th (Fri thru Sunday). I think it would be awesome if we could get a group of the wednesday night men's group to go. I even got a hall pass from my significant other already!! You can check out the convention and  register online here  . There are no upfront fees, you pay when you show up. You do need to reserve a hotel room ahead of time and I'd like to get a head count so maybe we can split some rooms between us. Go ahead and take a look at the website and we can discuss everything at the end of the meeting this week. This wednesday night we will be going over  The Perpetual Quest p388-397.  I thought this was a very interesting story, brought me back to a time early in recovery when things seemed more complicated and yet simpl...
