Friends,
In crafting an introductory script and message to introduce the After-meeting, your thoughts and feelings are being sought.
To begin with, do you have a suggestion as to the names of the After-meeting spaces that have been established? Newcomer Session and Parking Lot come to mind… would you care to suggest something else? And for that matter, what would be the title of the person who leads the After-meeting?… Host… Facilitator? If you have any suggestions, please offer them, if not, you can skip to the next questions.
Thank you.
The After-meeting has some customary practices. A newcomer to the after-meeting will not be familiar with these practices and may even bring with them some assumptions formed in their other recovery meetings. In order to have everyone informed and in agreement, a comprehensive document is being assembled and will find a home on our website. It will be there for easy reference.
We would like to clarify the rules and guidelines of the After-meeting that create the foundation of supportive and respectful member interactions. A survey to help develop these rules and guidelines is offered below.
Consider this – if you were to explain to a Newcomer about the etiquette of the After-meeting, which of these points might you refer to?
Finally, there has been various words used to describe the agreed upon boundaries for the meeting, such as ‘rules’, ‘guidelines’, ‘customs’ and ‘practices’ as well as combinations of these words. As we attempt to identify our preferred description, would you like to make any suggestions to consider?
Thank you for your participation.
Once the responses and suggestions have been compiled, the results will be brought back to the group for tailoring and editing. Ultimately the finished product will be brought back to the group for adoption. Updates throughout the process will be announced and posted, most likely through the monthly business meeting minutes.
Please feel free to comment below, to everyone, your thoughts about the survey. Or you may reach out to Jim R with comments or questions.

I was happy to do the survey. If anything I provided helps, I am glad to help
I’m glad to participate in this survey and am hopeful it will result in a simple opening statement that clarifies the purpose and behaviors in the after meeting. I agree with LC that it may be of great benefit to new after meeting hosts so they won’t have to scramble to figure out what to say at the beginning.
I’m not sure I understand the objections to this survey or how a Townhall would be any different from the processes we went through initiating this effort.
Jim R clearly has been the person most exhibiting healthy remarks and conduct and I am grateful for his service.

Im grateful for this space as the best part of waking up for me.
Thank you. This meeting is on my gratitude list daily. Its the best part of waking up for me.
This is the time to call for a TOWN Hall meeting.
I agree with the !st comments in the survey.

An adhoc committee had spent a year on all of this.
The group voted to create a script not to rehash issues that were discussed for a year.
However, unelected self appointed authority figures have decided service is a covert way to work on others via long drawn out complicated processes.
Whoever created this new survey process was not authorized by the group.
Thank you, Anonymous,
How would you suggest the group create an After-meeting script…
Please outline your steps here so that we may all benefit from your inspiration…
I think this will be helpful for people wanting to be a newcomer greeter but are afraid when there are no guidelines.
