Ahh man.

See the attached word document.

I was hoping everyone could read it in the email because opening and closing documents can get confusing or time consuming.

Smile,
Kathleen

Hi Kathleen,

Thanks for the suggestions, however since the server strips out all
formatting, we can't see what you highlighted or bolded.

Hugs,
Steve

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?

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
