The Last Meeting

Prez Mike called the meeting to order at 2:05 pm. Prez Mike asked that the minutes from the last meeting be read to the Brothers. As the minutes from the last meeting was being read I, along with the Prez noticed that there was some things that needed to be change. So the Prez informed the Brothers that we would revisit the minutes from the last meeting. Prez then asked for the financial report from Brother Money. Financial report at this time is $2234.15 in checking, 1509.84 in saving. Then Brother Money informed the Brothers that we had to subtract the $750.00 dollars for the rent out of the $2234.15 in checking. After the rent was subtracted from the checking account the balance was $1484.15 in checking. We made $1892.00 dollars…

The third AA meeting I attended was at Bridgewater Congregational Church, in Bridgewater Connecticut, at 7:00pm on Friday June 8, 2018. The past two meetings I attended were open book, however this meeting was a twelve- step meeting. The language used in this meeting was the same as the two other meetings I observed. Many members mentioned the words “higher power”, “prayer”, and “powerlessness”. The man who ran the meeting introduced himself, read the preamble and asked if there were any new…

Clinical Reflection: Group Meeting I arrived thirty minutes earlier for the meeting scheduled at seven that evening, but the parking lot was almost full and teeming with activity. There were people talking, laughing, and some were loitering, wandering aimlessly before proceeding through a discreet door; ten minutes prior to the scheduled start. Hence, the scene reminded me more of an enthusiastic crowd being ushered in before the movie start or an eager bunch queueing up for the latest…

people experience unproductive and ineffective meetings very often, some more than others. While some meetings often produce many valuable results, many meetings are often considered to be a waste of time or ultimately have little value to the staff or participants when the meeting does not go well. Having staff meetings, especially in an educational setting, can often produce many valuable results. Effective meetings provide a chance for discussion, may have the ability to broaden each staff…

In order to provide a sense of the meeting that was held, a very brief overview of the proceedings will first be presented. That will be followed by an analysis of a selected few topics of the meeting, and how they relate to the organizational theory with respect to the class. The meeting began with a roll call, followed by an approval of the minutes of the prior meeting. The guest speaker for the night, President Mazey, was then introduced. Her talk centered on various items of interest to…

The obvious and best solution to the problem of the normal anxiety and discomfort that are associated with attending one's first AA meeting is to go to the meeting with someone who knows the ropes. If no friend or acquaintance who happens to be an AA member is available, contact can always be arranged by calling the local AA Central Office and asking for a volunteer to telephone one. Although many people avail themselves of such measures to reduce the stress of their first AA meeting, many…

time to review everything (if only members actually took the time to actually review the material). As you are probably aware, I asked Diana Kenderian to take over responsibility of working with the staff on approving the agenda since my responsibilities as well as educational pursuits started causing delays in approving the agenda. Until last month (July) I can't recall the committee ever needing to cancel a meeting due to the agenda not being posted withing the manditory 72 hours prior to the…
