When going to a recovery center, rehab, courts, etc: have you been asked to display literature along with a meeting list? If so, did you think how everything would be displayed? Recently with the new recovery center being opened in Medina, we were asked to have a bracket for our literature and to have someone from the group to check and update the literature and meeting list. What a great idea, just checked the cost of literature rack and the cost is$32, which of course I will take back to group conscious. I think it is important that when being asked to set out literature in an office setting, what is this going to look like. Will it be displayed in the counselors office or in the waiting room? Are you going to check on the literature or are you waiting for a phone call? Are they willing for a Naranon member to come in with the people working in the office, courts, rehabs, centers, etc to explain what Naranon is and ask if anyone has any questions regarding Naranon? We have a literature chair person at our meeting, she counts the literature and before group conscious brings to the group what is needed and the cost. She will also be the person that if we set up literature at the recovery center will keep track. I realize that not all meetings can have a literature chair person, it was years before our group did. When I talk about community outreach there are so many ways besides going to an event and setting up informational tables.
