OUTREACH TIP OF THE WEEK- 6TH TRADITION; OUR FAMILY GROUPS OUGHT NEVER TO ENDORSE, FINANCE OR LEND OUT NAME TO ANY OUTSIDE ENTERPRISE LEST PROBLEMS OF MONEY, PROPERTY AND PRESTIGE DIVERTS US FROM OUR PRIMARY SPIRITUAL AIM; BUT ALTHOUGH A SEPARATE ENTITY

It is almost time for the Ohio Convention of Narcotic Anonymous (OCNA). Has most states and cities have conventions, I wanted to bring outreach in regards to this. We have been at OCNA a couple of times due to cooperation by NA. Though each time there are different situations, we can have a Naranon table, we cannot have a Naranon table, Naranon will be on the flyer for OCNA, Naranon will not be on a flyer for OCNA. It is hard, because each NA group that runs OCNA, looks at Naranon differently, so with cooperation, we bend towards what makes them comfortable, why may this be the case? Could it be that some NA groups do not know about Naranon,or what Naranon is? As we talk about educated the community, what about NA, a lot of the groups meet the same time and place as NA. Who among us go up before the meetings or after the meetings just to say hi? Of course your annoymity is no longer hidden, a decision that you must make. Do we know NA tradition 6? That tradition is the same as ours except for what is after spiritual aim. I actually meet with the group that will be holding OCNA the following year and introduce myself, along with information about Naranon and my email address. How many of us seen NA members come see what Naranon is about at OCNA. Look at what NA is doing outside with conventions and camp outs etc.
We also don't just have to attend Ohio's convention, there are three other states involved, who has met with a member from NA to see when the state convention will be?
