I usually go online to our county, surrounding counties or state, drug, alcohol, and mental health department. When I open these up, most of them have a page that has events. Further looking at event page, I can see the sponsors go forward with that and see what other events the sponsors may have and get in touch with that person or group. I took the liberty, for Kentucky-the name has changed to Centerstone addiction recovery: for Tennessee- NAADAC for West Virginia-WVCBAPP. this was just doing a general Google search, which I am sure you can find more city, county or state alcohol, drug and mental health places. Sometimes you just have to play on the computer to locate.
I reached Columbus and found the person in the state capital who sends me a weekly email. I then let the group's closest to the event know.

These are two sided advertising in diners, hotels, libraries, waiting rooms, etc. Each city has a section called what's happening and it is free to put a community event. What kind of papers do you see in the waiting rooms, diners, hotels, etc. you go do. Have you even noticed any papers anywhere you attend. I saw mine as I was at the laundromat watching my laundry and bored. You just never know what is in the waiting area you are.

The last couple of weeks, I wrote about having a number people can call to find out about Naranon that could be setup by groups and to also make rehab and other facilities have current meeting info. We have found the county board and even citizens are having helplines set up for all recovery information, including for family members. When reaching out ask if they have set up a hotline or know one in the city or county. If so, find out how you can provide World Naranon number. A reminder that giving out your personal number unless within the meeting is discouraged. Usually a hotline number is,24/7 and you are not. There are some meetings that have a general outreach number, which could also be given. When calling up local hotlines, find out where they are located and see if you can stop by to give info on what is Naranon. Not all cities and/or counties offer this. If you are up to it there are quite a bit listed on the internet.
