AGENDA/FORMAT:
We’ve updated the agenda/format for the advance and have posted it on the AGENDA page (https://dfw12stepadvance.org/agenda/). It may be fleshed out a bit more as we get closer, but this should get you started. We are finalizing the content for the advance now and we will make both printed (on site) and digital versions (delivered pre-event vial email) of all handouts available to all attendees. We are also developing ways to make this experience highly engaging and interactive. We have a few surprises up our sleeve.
Plan To Bring:
- Your Big Book
- Your 12&12 (if you have one)
- A pen
- A highlighter
- And a massive open heart and willingness to learn
MEALS / F&B:
We will provide a light continental breakfast (e.g., donuts, muffins, fruit, etc.), light lunch (e.g., sandwiches, etc.), light dinner (e.g., pizza, etc.), snacks throughout the day and coffee. If you need something else to help you get through the day you will want to bring it.
SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES:
For us to be able to greet folks upon arrival, manage a registration table, get food prepared and served, etc., Terry and I will need folks to help. If you have a sponsee who is needing a service commitment (the age-old “volun-told”), please have them sign up to do service. Folks can sign up for time slots:
Setup (6am-7:00am)
Greeters (Morning)
Greeters (Afternoon)
Greeters (Evening)
Registration Desk (Morning)
Registration Desk (Afternoon)
Registration Desk (Evening)
Meal Service (Breakfast)
Meal Service (Lunch)
Meal Service (Dinner)
Tear Down (8pm-9pm)
We are asking all folks who want to do service to use our volunteer sign-up form at https://dfw12stepadvance.org/service/
We are lucky to have two A.A. members, Jennifer C., and Shannan C. who’ve stepped up to help coordinate our volunteers. For all those who filled out the form to volunteer, they will be in touch with you as we get closer to share more details.
NEWS/UPDATES:
We will use this space to share news and updates about the advance that everyone will need/want to know. Please check this page often (especially as we get closer to the advance). https://dfw12stepadvance.org/updates/
HELP US SPREAD THE WORD:
Please share our website with everyone in your A.A. network locally (https://dfw12stepadvance.org). We look forward to hitting our mark of 125ppl. Once we do, we will shut down pre-registration and start a wait list.
Thank you for your willingness to spend the day with us developing a deeper and more personal relationship with our 12 Steps. If you have any questions, let us know here.
