Meeting SpotlightFor Today Meeting
Sundays, 5:00 – 6:00 PM Location: Christ Lutheran Church Social Hall, 6500 E. Stearns St., Long Beach, CA This is a good meeting with which to begin your week (or end your weekend). A large room allows the chairs to be set up in a great circle, and they are nearly always filled to capacity. The leader reads a page from For Today, one of OA’s daily readers, which is then used as a topic for discussion. The leader isn’t required to read the page corresponding to the current date, but may choose any page desired which might highlight a certain topic in which he/she may be interested. It has been said that the strength of a group can be gleaned from how relevant the pitches are to the topic being discussed. This meeting earns a gold star. The meeting has grown over the years. It began in a small basement room, then moved up to a larger room at ground level, and now it’s in the Social Hall – the largest room in the facility other than the church sanctuary. Any discussion of this group would not be complete without mentioning that there are two members who have appointed themselves the in-house “set-up crew.” Arriving 45 minutes to an hour before the meeting, they set up all the chairs (in a perfect circle). Members of the fellowship in the Long Beach/Lakewood area owe a sincere debt of gratitude to these members who make the secretary’s job so much easier – not just for this meeting, but for a few others as well. Thank you, Bob and Laura. |
