Weekly Area 29 Zoom Call: Area 29 will be hosting a weekly Service zoom call on Saturday mornings at 9:00 a.m, starting this Saturday, March 28, 2020. If needed, we will announce an adjustment to that timing to accommodate for the virtual Mini-Conference, which is scheduled for April 4. These weekly zoom meetings will be your opportunity to connect with other trusted servants in Area 29 to discuss any issues that you are facing in your local groups, districts, or intergroups as we navigate virtual meetings and other issues caused by the pandemic. The meeting will last for one hour and is open to anyone doing any kind of service work in Area 29 (local group, Intergroup, District, Area, etc.).
Area 29 Service Call, Every Saturday at 9:00 am until further notice
