I am in Amish country for the weekend. Sometimes we need to take a break from addiction. Whether the addict is in,recovery, active addiction or even from,thinking too much on what we should or should not be doing either for the addict or ourselves. Sometimes are thinking can be stinking thinking.
Have a wonderful weekend.

This is an early outreach tip. This event occurs at different cities on August 31 every year. The Medina county groups had two events in different cities where we had Naranon tables. As I receive the information about who to contact and places where this event will occur, I will reach out to the group closest. If you have not had a table before and have questions please reach out to me. Also, please let me know if you are not going to reach out to the contact person, so I can reach out to the second nearest group.
This is a great event, to where you can make great contacts within the community and the community itself.

As we see events during the week it is hard to make all events. During the week, there are times due to work, kids, etc that we cannot make events. This is to,see where other members within the group are willing to do. In our group, we have a couple of people that are retired, stay at home, has a flexible work schedule, etc that make weekday events possible. We find within the group to divide up events between the people that work 9-5 during the week, that are willing to do evening or weekend events. I found it rewarding when I did my first table, nervous, but after talking to the first person, knew how important outreach is.

We have put together an event listing where Naranon tables, booths or speakers will be. Instead of having individual flyers, each week, I update for the Brunswick, Manchester, Medina and Tallmadge meetings, since we tend to work Medina and Summit counties together. We do have events outside of both counties that we are also involved with. It seem to make it easier to have everything on one list make copies and then pass it around, or if you are working with other groups within your area, someone can do the updated last and email to secretaries, the ideas are endless I am trying to add it to this post and hope that it works.
