using the 12 Traditions Checklist
We read the long-form of the tradition of the month, read the related questions from the 12 Traditions Checklist, followed by a 10-15 minute speaker, and then open discussion. We hope this workshop will be welcoming and attractive for AAs to share openly about our own experience, strength, and hope working the traditions, using the Checklist as our guide. Everyone is welcome to attend this AA workshop and AA members are welcome to share during the discussion portion of the meeting.
We have service opportunities: hosts, speakers with experience, and more.

Old or new to AA,
we all can learn from one another!

Pivoting for the Pandemic: Collecting JFT's Story of Transition for the Archives
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.
Questions can be directed to: <JFTSecretary@gmail.com>
