You all were right!smile

I pretended to be upset I didn't have enough sobriety to be chairperson and those sneaky drunks voted me greeter before I new what was going on! Lmao!

It's good though. A good way to get to know everyone.

i think its awesome ya got a greeter at yer meetings. it can really help someone who is there for their 1st meeting. i dont know anyone who came into their 1st meting wanting to get sober who didnt have some fear and that hand reached out helped them.

That's great Christine. Sounds like you are in a good group. Greeting is a great position, you are right after a few weeks everyone will know you..

Congrats Christine,

greeter is one of the most important jobs. It is so important for the newcomer to feel welcome and comfortable as well. Of course you will quickly get to know everyone and soon you will be an old hand. You can do an awful lot of good in that role. Well done, you'll find it's much better to be "in" AA rather than just going "to" AA.

God bless,

MikeH.

It was all pretty funny. smile If I hadn't been there they would have picked an old timer who didn't show up for the meeting!

 

They convinced someone else to be secretary. Once he agreed they told him "oh by the way...that is a one year commitment."

Funny bunch!

A funny bunch...But stick close to those people....I grabbed onto the coattails of oldtimers right from the start...I think I was 4 months sober when I went to my first business meeting...I left chairing the Thursday meeting....We don't have a greeter for some reason....Maybe I'll bring that up at the next one.

Both places where I go to meetings have greeters. The greeter seems to be late, almost always. Not on purpose...just works out that way. That is kind of a running joke, too!smile I walk there so I am usually early.
