I have been asked for a number of reasons (such as avoiding confusion and keeping the main board uncluttered) that a couple of things remain consistent when posting the meeting topic on either board...

1) to keep the meeting time in EST in all references to time;

2) to always put the scheduled time in post rather than "now" or "in progress";

3) to keep the main board meeting post in the standard format below:

Subject line in upper case, with short topic named (the rest to be put in to post): 

TUESDAY MORNING MEETING 9AM (EST) - TOPIC: PATIENCE; KEEPING OUR SERENITY

Inside the post as follows:  

Meeting scheduled in the alanon chat room

TOPICS are: GRATITUDE; NO LONGER ALONE; CREATING PURPOSE

The group meeting room can be easily accessed by clicking on the link on the menu bar above the board. You can also join directly at http://www.12stepforums.net/chatroom2.html. There are other ways to join the room also. Using mIRC or other chat client, the server we are on is irc.chat4all.org, port 6667. which users will need to add to their IRC server list, and our room name (#alanonchat) to their IRC channels.

THIS POST IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY AND WILL BE REMOVED AFTER THE MEETING ENDS
