INSTRUCTIONS TO HOST A NOON-ZOOM MEETING

Hosting Instructions

1. Call Al to arrange for a time for you both to be available and in front of your computers. See your group listing 2. Log on with Al’s login info: Call David or Al.

3. Be ready for Al to give you the 6 digit number that was sent to him.

4. Enter the number in the boxes on your screen

5. You should be ready to go.

6. In the future if you get knocked off you can just sign back in with Al’s Email and Password.

1. To set up the room, click on Participants. You can adjust your screen by grabbing the right side with your cursor and shrinking or enlarging the main screen, so that the white Participants column shoots over to the right hand side.

2. At the bottom of the white participants column is a link called ‘More’. Click it and a drop down appears. Select ‘Mute all upon entry’ near the top and click on “Enable Waiting Room”

3. At the bottom of the main Zoom screen select ‘chat’. That will open the chat column right in the middle of your participants column. You can lower the chat area with your cursor by slowly hovering slightly above the chat area. A black symbol will appear and you can grab it and lower that whole chat space to the bottom leaving more room for participant’s names as they continue to log on.

4. During the meeting, it may become necessary to mute people due to their background noise or because they are “Bombers”. Go to their name in the participant’s column and hover on the right side of their name. Two blue buttons will appear. The left one is labelled ‘Mute’. Click it. The right button labelled ‘More’. When you click it, a dropdown appears with other commands. One is ‘rename’ and you can replace someone’s phone number with it as their name. Another is “Remove” and that is to remove a unruly,

pornographic, or argumentative person from the meeting. When you hit remove, do not report them where you see that. Unclick report and hit only remove. This is because the report would go to Al, who doesn’t need the headache of filling out a report. You may have to remove the same people from the waiting room on a daily basis.

One known bomber is Firefly Notetaker. Other people not to admit are people with suspicious names or when they look suspicious (horns on their head or the like). Remove them.

5. After the meeting has started a bomber may get in. Look for their name under the pornographic image. Remove them based on their name from the participant column. If you can’t tell by looking at the windows and everyone appears to be muted, look for a window that flashes. If you see the flash, look at their name and remove them from the participant column. You will soon develop a sixth sense and it won’t be as nerve-wracking

NEW MEETING FORMAT

Notes: to Chairperson:

Per April 15 Biz Mtg., please conclude your lead by 12:30. Tuesday Grapevine is an exception.
When we have visiting students, we ask that they reserve their questions to before and after the meeting. Only alcoholics may share during the meeting.

Hi everyone, I am an alcoholic and my name is _____.

Before we get started, may I ask that you all please mute yourselves so as not to disturb the meeting with background noise.

Anyone using a phone to Zoom in needs to know that *6 will unmute and *9 will raise your hand.

Please help me open this meeting with the Serenity Prayer:

“God,

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

Courage to change the things I can and

Wisdom to know the difference”

Welcome to Noontime Sobriety’s _____________ Meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous. This is an Open Meeting – everyone is welcome to attend.

Please limit your share time to 5 minutes so that all may get a chance to share.

Crosstalk is allowed but limited to “identifying with” a person’s share.

We don’t give advice, criticize or speak directly to another member . Lastly, if you are moving around, please turn your video off as leaving it on is distracting to the other members.

The AA Preamble:

“Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.

The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for AA membership, we are self-supporting through our own contributions. AA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution, does not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help others to achieve sobriety.”

Would a volunteer please read, More About Alcoholism? (Chapter 3, page 30)

Would a volunteer please read, How it Works? (Chapter 5, page 58)

Is anyone here attending their very first meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous? Please introduce yourself so that we may get to know you.

Is there anyone attending this meeting for the first time?

Is there anyone new or returning to sobriety under 90 days that would like to share their day count?

Would those of you willing to be a sponsor please raise your hands and put your phone numbers in the chat? If you need a sponsor, please call any of these people.

(Chairperson now leads with reading and/or discussion then opens the meeting up to general sharing)

At 12:50, chairperson concludes general sharing and reminds everyone about our 7^th Tradition, which states that every AA group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contribution. Contributions can be made by usingyour debit card with Cash App. The tag line is $noontimesobriety

Ask for the Secretary’s Report.

Ask for a volunteer to read ‘The Promises’ (Chapter 6, pages 83 & 84)

Ask a volunteer to do the virtual chips.

Please, always keep in mind that what you heard here today and who you saw here today is confidential.

Ask everyone to mute and help close with “The Lord’s Prayer” mentioning specific people who are in need of prayers and alcoholics who may never make it into these rooms.

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name:

Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread

And forgive us our trespasses

As we forgive those who trespass against us

And lead us not into temptation

But deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory

For ever and ever

Amen

As we forgive those who trespass against us

And lead us not into temptation

Treasurer’s Report

$929.96 is the balance in our PayPal account. A note of explanation we have paid our annual Zoom fee and purchased medallions (retro, present and future) plus cake for our celebrants. Thus the reduced balance. But member contributions are coming back in, so we are stable.

Old Business

Monthly luncheons for Anniversary celebrants have been implemented.

Lila has volunteered to get a cake each month in honor of the celebrants.

Designer medallions are being purchased for the celebrants.

Verbiage has been added to the meeting format to define what is and is not acceptable crosstalk.

Al is working with Lila to look at a new way to pay contributions such as Cash App. In the future the IRS has proposed a 24% surcharge on PayPal accounts. That is why we are looking for a different contribution method. Currently no money has gone to the IRS. But the IRS wants a Tax ID on all PayPal accounts. Thus, we are looking else were.

Treasurer’s Report

$1151.96 is the balance in our PayPal account.

Issues involving the IRS are outlined in the New Business section.

Old Business

The wooden crate that contains Noontime Sobriety’s Big Books and Pamphlets

has been donated to the 4th Dimension Clubhouse Noon meeting.

The Medallion Box with large # medallions has been donated back to Emilio at the clubhouse.

New Business

David H. made a motion that passed unanimously, to celebrate anniversaries by, at the groups expense,

1. Buying a cake with the names of the celebrants (for months that we have one or more celebrants).

2. Buying designer medallions for celebrants and

3. Organizing a luncheon specifically for medallion presentations in celebrant’s honor.

Sharon made a motion to more carefully define what is, and is not, acceptable crosstalk.

The following ideas were discussed:

1. That acknowledging someone else’s share in a supportive or ‘identifying with’ type of way is acceptable and

2. That speaking directly to someone who has shared, giving advice or criticizing someone’s share is not acceptable.

After discussion the motion passed and David H. agreed to modify the meeting format to reflect those ideas.

Al only found out today that there is an issue with our PayPal Account involving the IRS and that he needs to address the money suddenly withheld by the IRS with Lila’s help. The results of his investigation will be discussed next month at the June 15th, 2023 business meeting.

Next Business Meeting will be on June 15, 2023

A reiteration to all that NTS’s group conscience decided long ago that when there is a new-comer with us for his or her very first AA meeting, the chairperson is to revert to a Beginner’s Meeting format, focusing on the Doctor’s Opinion and steps 1, 2 & 3.

If the chairperson either doesn’t know about our group conscience or that there is a brand new new-comer present, any one is to remind them out-loud rather than through chat so that the message is positively received.

David H. requested that in the spirit of rotation someone please step up to take a one year commitment to become the group secretary and another the group’s host.

Secretary’s Report:

David H. read the secretary’s report from July:

1.) Marco motioned that we have alternates for chairpersons and following discussion it was voted that 2 persons each month would volunteer to be available to fill in regardless of which day of the week it is. Motion passed with 5 yays and for the month of August, Lou and David H. agreed to be the alternates.

2.) Bill objected to the chairperson abstaining from voting and after a couple of minutes we decided to table this idea till next month.

3.) Al brought up that August rent hadn’t been paid yet and all of the options (whether to pay or not pay the August rent, as well as whether to ask Emilio for our money back) were covered in discussion. At the end of discussion we concluded that because it was Emilio who had forbidden Noon Time’s Zoom meeting from being co-joined with the physical meeting and it has been the Zoom group paying the rent the last 3 months, we voted unanimously to not pay August rent at the clubhouse.

4.) After discussion, Al agreed to take on the task of informing Joel of our decision to not pay August rent. Joel was not present at the meeting to participate in discussions and/or to vote on them so discussion about potential resistance by Joel to pay the rent resulted in the understanding that if Joel did not abide by our Group Conscience and did pay the rent, it would be tantamount to theft.

5.) As an aside, Al mentioned that all AA meetings on Zoom could be found by searching FOB on Facebook.

Treasurer’s Report:

Al spoke to Joel about the Zoom fee as well as consolidating the 7th Tradition baskets from our two websites. To date we have $910 and are building our prudent reserve back to $1300

Old Business:

Old business had been to revisit our relationship with the clubhouse after one month.

Leon Shared that clubhouses are being raided by undercover cops who are pretending to be alcoholics and addicts. He named Sunshine Cathedral as the latest raided and shuttered.

In addition, we had tabled the motion by Bill W. to allow the chairperson to vote along with everybody else and the motion passed to have the chair person vote too..

New Business:

Next Biz. Mtg. will be on September 16.

Regina brought up discussion about whether a person could vote in more than their homegroup’s Biz Mtg. Al, as our district rep. promised to look into it and come back to us with an official answe

Secretary’s Report:

2.) Bill objected to the chairperson abstaining from voting and after a couple of minutes we decided to table this idea till next month.

3.) The Business Meeting Chair, brought up that August rent hadn’t been paid yet and all of the options (whether to pay or not pay the August rent, as well as whether to ask Emilio for our money back) were covered in discussion. At the end of discussion we concluded that because it was Emilio who had forbidden Noon Time’s Zoom meeting from being co-joined with the physical meeting and it has been the Zoom group paying the rent the last 3 months, we voted unanimously to not pay August rent at the clubhouse.

4.) After discussion, The Business Meeting Chairman agreed to take on the task of informing Joel of our decision to not pay August rent. Joel was not present at the meeting to participate in discussions and/or to vote on them so discussion about potential resistance by Joel to pay the rent resulted in the understanding that if Joel did not abide by our Group Conscience and did pay the rent, it would be tantamount to theft.

5.) As an aside, Al mentioned that all AA meetings on Zoom could be found by searching FOB on Facebook.

Treasurer’s Report:

As Treasurer, Joel, was not present at this Biz. Mtg., Al gave the report:

$650 is in our checking account and is inclusive of all sources.

Old Business:

Old business had been to revisit our relationship with the clubhouse after one month.

Secretary’s Report:

Due to Carolyn’s passing, Al recapped that last month it was decided to shelve the idea that NTS would have ‘hybrid’ meetings after the clubhouse reopened, ‘hybrid’ indicating that both the Zoom Meeting and the ‘in person’ meetings would take place simultaneously at the clubhouse.

Treasurer’s Report:

Due to Joel’s new job, he couldn’t attend and Al gave a brief Treasurer’s Report:

Our bank account has a balance od $115.00. There are still several unopened envelopes in the safe and another $22.00 in our .com account.

Old Business:

Covered already by Al in the reading of the Secretary’s Report.

New Business:

A motion to continue the ‘hybrid meetings at the clubhouse was passed by a vote of 5 yays and 0 nays. Dan L. brought up a concern about anonymity with the Zoom meeting but his concerns were laid to rest as it was emphasized that 1.) Noon Time Sobriety is an open meeting, 2.) that everyone on the Zoom meeting is an alcoholic and 3) that the majority of he people present are on Zoom and those in the clubhouse did join this meeting and the motion still passed.

The final decision was to make notes of any problems and bring to the next Business Meeting for discussion.

Another idea was made by Al to purchase a wireless mic for the clubhouse members to be able to share without having to go to he desk. There was no motion and no vote but it appeared to e supported through general discussion rather than a vote. A vote, if necessary can be taken next Biz. Mtg.

Bill W. made some observations about AA groups which have no physical address with General Services and Called them Rogue Meetings. General discussion appeared to answer his questions.

19th NTS Business Meeting

NTS=Noon Time Sobriety
New Business: There is for a newcomer a 30-day requirement clean time before Chairing, plus the newcomer needs to have a Sponsor (to help guide them). This assumes that the Sponsor has 1 year clean and a working knowledge of the 12 steps. Thus, allowing the new person to get involved. This can be revisited next business meeting.

Joel’s situation has changed, and he will not be leaving town, so he wishes to remain as Treasurer. Laurie was nominated as a Treasurer if needed. Per pervious NTS business meetings, one, will need to meet the NTS position requirements of attending 3 consecutive business meetings first and contact the current Treasurer within ten days of nomination for policies and procedures. Since this is an important position, consistent behavior and commitment are a must. NTS, has struggled in the past, with this position and passed these requirements, for the benefit of the Noon Time Sobriety group.

Open position to be filled is for Communication with the Professional Community(CPC) to replace Stephanie.

A motion for a second basket for Holidays (Thanksgiving-Christmas) contributions and towards picnic was passed. People can still bring a dish for the Holiday meals.
Old Business: Silver dollar coin for keychain, that was tabled last month, did not pass. New comers packet will be provided by Stephanie. At a cost less than $30.

Next business Thursday May 24, 2018 (May is a long month)

Treasury Report: Status Quo

Minutes from previous meeting: Position for Treasurer needed to be filled.

Motions that were passed: Dan was nominated and as new Treasurer. Currently Joel will continue in position. CPC position needed to be filled Stephanie was nominated and voted in. David was nominated for Chairperson and was voted in per spirit of rotation, contingent on Camillo stepping down.

New Business: Additional monies are needed for GSR’s Travel Expenses (which are important to keep our group up to spec with information and goings on with District) from 200$ to 400$ and was voted on and passed. Review funding as needed.
Per the AA Group pamphlet, Stephanie asked for review of what is “group conscious”.
The way we handle meetings where we switch formats for new comers. To be reviewed further next business meeting. Discussions items or things that need to be reaffirmed.

REMEMBER THE FOURTH TRADITION: EACH GROUP IS AUTONOMOUS

Noon Time Sobriety has a fixed meeting format which is somewhat flexible. Yes.

What defines AA Noon Time Sobriety “Group Membership”? Our membership book? Yes

What is informed group conscience? GSR’s job.

What is the chairman’s choice to “carry the message”, if a true new comer is in the meeting? Can the Chair tailor the meeting to the new comer? If not, then why do we ask those questions, “like is this your first AA meeting” at the beginning of every meeting?

Per the Group pamphlet there is no voting in a general AA meeting. Attendees are not voting Noon Time Sobriety members. Thus if it is Chair’s choice to “carry the message” thus tailor to the new comer no vote is needed? No.

Is Noon Time Sobriety’s primary purpose to stay sober and “carry it’s message”? Yes
