Hello all,

Below are my suggested edits of the "Draft" ASP site.   The yellow highlighted area is where the suggested change will be, and the bold suggestion is below.  There is a line between each section or page.   Let me know if you do not understand.

DRAFT – Welcome to A Serenity Place Al-Anon Family Group!
You’ve taken the first step—you’ve come to an Al-Anon meeting.  Congratulations!
Keep coming back to meetings.  It is there that we get the support and comfort that help us deal with our personal situation.  You probably have many questions, including “What does working the Steps mean?” or “What Al-Anon literature should I read first?”  The links that follow will bring you to the Al-Anon Family Groups on-line store and the section on the site that is designed for newcomers.   Here you will find bookmarks, pamphlets, and daily readers/books.
Suggestion:   The information and links provided below will bring you to the Al-Anon Family Groups…..

The below web  links on the right side of the page under “pages”, suggestion, maybe copy  the 12 Steps, Traditions, and Concepts in each page and keep the link.   Just a suggestion.

·        12 Steps of Al-Anon<https://asp-afg.org/twelve-steps/>
·        12 Traditions of Al-Anon<https://asp-afg.org/twelve-traditions/>
·        12 Concepts of Service<https://asp-afg.org/twelve-concepts-of-service/>

External Links

  *   Al-Anon World Service Home Page<http://www.al-anon.org/>
  *   Online Al-Anon Information Service<http://www.ola-is.org/>


Suggestion:  When clicking on the Al-Anon World Service Home Page link, there is nothing saying it is the World Service.  Maybe that can be added, or brought to the WSO attention?

Service on the ASP Steering Committee, page
Serving on the ASP Steering Committee is the highest form of service for ASP that is available to ASP members.  As such, the group has established prior ASP service prerequisites for serving on the Steering Committee so that members of the Steering Committee have had an opportunity to better understand ASP and its policies and practices.
Suggestion:  Serving on the ASP Steering Committee is an in-depth form of service for ASP that is...

Hi everyone,

We are now moving to the final topic of this Business Meeting and will
discuss two updates to our website:

1. Steve can give an update on where we are with the newcomers page. The
draft page is the first link below. The existing page is the second link
below.

https://asp-afg.org/draft-welcome-to-a-serenity-place-al-anon-family-group/

https://asp-afg.org/members/newcomers-beginners-to-al-anon/

2. The Steering Committee created a new page designed to introduce
members to the principles of service on the Steering Committee. There
will be 4 new members of the SC as of May 1st, so we thought this was
the best way to make sure all ASP members have a clear understanding of
how the SC operates.

  https://asp-afg.org/members/service-on-the-asp-steering-committee/

This week is open for comments/concerns/edits to these pages.

The business meeting will end at the end of April 30th.

Hugs,

Lynne
