we have developed and maintain
separate and unique contact lists as follows:

1) JFT Group Member List: An Opt-In-Only list of those who consider JFT their 'home group.'
The distribution of this list is limited to a print version at the onsite meeting.
2) JFT Virtual Meeting E-Contact List: An Opt-In-Only Electronic Contact List of those who participate in the JFT Virtual Group. Distribution of this list is via email and is limited to those who request a copy from JFTContactlist@gmail.com.
3) JFT GoogleGroup: This tool is used for the sole purpose of outgoing communication of JFT Group business matters - to those who participate in either virtual or in-person meetings . This includes zoom access to virtual meetings, group business related announcements, and special events of interest to our primary purpose.

Just for Today AA (Arlington, MA) is collecting your stories to build our story of "Pivoting for the Pandemic". Our goal is to document this important moment in the history of our AA Group; and to include your voice.
Directions are on the form - and you will have the chance to see what others have shared along the way. Our stories will be collected and synthesized to create one "JFT's Pivoting for the Pandemic History" that will be shared at an Area 30 Archives Committee Event , May 22 (4:30 - 5:30 pm) and on our website. Jenny T., Jennifer L. and Wendy MO will facilitate this project.
