The Intergroup Secretary, Pete, sent me a note with some updates to meetings.  I’ve copied the contents of his email to me.

=== begin copy of email text ===

Hey Bill, just wanted to check in about a few schedule-related things.

I heard/noticed that some changes were made to the schedule reflecting groups’ web presence, and saw a few corrections, and have had some changes since, and follow-up questions which are probably just rhetorical until Intergroup.  (But please share your thoughts if you care to.)

-The Sunday @ 7:30 (Colonie) meeting just voted at our business meeting to have full web presence (i.e. the street address listed).
-The Saturday Pine Grove meeting’s directions are partially covered up now so that it only reads the end part of the directions.
-The Friday Newtonville @ 7:30 (listed as Latham) voted to have full web presence before the Jan intergroup, but says to call the hotline.

I guess we can bring this up at Intergroup, but does a group not submitting a vote or voting against full presence necessarily mean that they would not be listed?  I suppose if they followed up, and asked that it not be list, that I would understand, until we are able discuss it at Intergroup. But I was thinking that the default would be to list the group’s address, unless it was specifically requested by a group rep.

Sometime soon I’d like to figure out my access to the site so I take future schedule changes off your hands.

Thanks for all your hard work, Bill.
Pete.

The format of the meeting schedule and what the default position is around street addresses will be discussed at the next Intergroup meeting, Saturday, March 21 at 11:30am at St. George’s in Clifton Park.

A link to the new schedule is here: (removed — see newer post for schedule, and also the Schedule link on left hand menu)

Yours in recovery,
Bill R, Intergroup Chair

UPDATE: On Tue 3/3 the meeting will stay at its’ temporary location of 1 Maria Drive, Loudonville, to hold its’ business meeting.  During this business meeting a vote will be taken and a decision made whether or not to move the meeting permanently to 1 Maria Drive.

If you have an opinion one way or the other please show up to the business meeting to vote!!

As you recall the impetus to change were very cold conditions at the 1 Exchange St location.
