[Businessmtg] business meeting

[Kathy Frasier]

I was thinking the same thing as Heather.  Having served as a greeter I know the volume of time it can take and asking the greeters to take on more responsibility than they already have would be asking a lot.  I also know how many people join and never participate or ask to be removed in several days. However, that happens at a f2f Al-Anon meeting, too.  Our local Al-Anon meeting has a format that people share on the first step whenever there is a new person.  I have thought, "Again??"  We have had a lot of first step topic meetings in a row!  Also, people come once and and never return.  I do believe offering literature is an important and necessary ingredient of a meeting.  A Merry-go-round Called Denial laid on my nightstand for a long time before I ever returned to an Al-Anon meeting but it had been read many times.  
 
Just my 2 cents.
