Alumni Reunion Planning Subcommittee meeting Monday, March 2nd, 6:30PM
(before our main meeting). Ideas include:
- Sandcastle contest
- Non-food pie throwing at staff or dunk tank (Ethan to research tank cost)
- The interactive Alumni Panel Group during Community Week simply rocked. Staff will notify us of next scheduled date as it comes up in the program rotation. Please attend if you are able as it’s very rewarding to sit with and briefly hear from other diverse members of our community whom you may not have met yet!
- Discussed and unanimously agreed with staff recommendation that clients who have successfully completed a 30-day program with at least 90 days continuous sobriety are welcome to attend the monthly Alumni Group Business Meeting (with staff approval), however not the Art of Recovery or Workshop sessions.
- Monday, March 9th Alumni fun event will be roller skating if ice skating is unavailable; look for details upcoming in email. (Is there any cost to participate? – Ed.)
- Next Business meeting is Monday, March 2nd, 7:00PM.
- Respectfully submitted by Jamey K., 2/25/15
