Greetings ASP Business Members, 

The Business meetings are an imperative aspect of our program and are essential to the continual growth and success of A Serenity Place.  Participating in a Business Meeting provides members with opportunities to grow in their own program while providing an important service to A Serenity Place.  It is sometimes inevitable that disagreements and personality conflicts arise, as these are sometimes unavoidable side affects of sharing openly.  Through participation in the Business Meeting it is essential that we keep an open mind as well as a level of understanding of each other.  We each have a responsibility to expand our levels of acceptance of each other in scenarios where our diseases have multiple chances to say things less than perfect or hear things in a negative light.

It is essential that we place our Business Mission first - keeping with our slogan of "first things first".

hugs, 

Jennifer
ASP Secretary
