I was told that the one I'm attending is called an "Open Speaker"? Is that what the Open Meeting is? There are so many acronyms to learn, eep!

I can sit and listen, and am willing to give a donation if it helps people. (Heck, I do it at church services sometimes anyways).

I'm worried about the overwhelming part.... anything social. People are either really friendly because of the wheelchair (in general) or are really NOT. I'd really like to find a place with a semi-happy medium.

Phone numbers, okay. I'll try to find the secretary too. I was hoping I'd get in contact with someone via email who would direct me to a good meeting, instead I got an email asking me if I really thought I had an alcohol problem. I felt a bit put off about that.... why would I email them otherwise?

Thanks (((((((((splitimage))))))))))))) I'm going to try to attend the meeting you chair/run as well now more regularily if I can.
