<p>I would like to point out that we aren't "area treatment". I
haven't heard anybody say it's a bad thing that AA meets in our
buildings, and, as someone who has benefited from these types of
meetings for my own addictions I'd be the first to propose the
idea if we didn't already provide them space It all comes down to
a policy that attempts to protect everyone concerned.</p>
<p>If people are genuinely concerned about the AA meetings then
perhaps we can generate a list that people can sign up for to
provide one or two nights meeting space for AA in their personal
home, or even a garage until we can ensure that we are doing our
best to keep things safe for our members (first) and then for
outside use. Anybody want to volunteer to create the list? I am
not kidding. Annie<br>

<div>I have delayed responding. I think it is very important
for us to open and allow the AA meeting in our fellowship
hall. I totally agree with what Teresa said below and hope
that we are able to quickly allow them to meet. These kind of
exceptions are consistent with our values and meet an
important community need. I hope we are able to resolve this
quickly and it should not take weeks. Area treatment
providers recognized the importance of in person meetings for
recovery and those were the first services opened to
in-person. </div>

<div class="yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:Helvetica
Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;">
<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Hello everyone. I
thought I might weigh in on the discussion regarding AA
meeting in the sanctuary. <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">In-person, face to face
contact is an important part of recovery groups whether
it's AA, NA, Al-Anon, Weight Watchers, and so on. Not
having that kind of intensive support increases many
members chance of relapse and threatens their
sobriety/abstinence/life. Therefore, the sooner folks
have a chance to meet, the better for them and for our
community. I'm sure there must be some sort of
protocol the AA group is observing when they meet for
their home meetings at "AA headquarters" on the corner
of 3rd and Scammel, and elsewhere. My guess is that it
is protocol that the Ohio Department of Health has
established. I'm sure it includes hand-washing, hand
disinfectant, wearing of face masks, and disinfection of
surfaces, like tables and chairs.<br>
<br>
<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">It seems to me we do
not have to reinvent the wheel in order to allow AA to
use the property, including being permitted to make
coffee. The only thing that needs to be established
is whether the AA group disinfects after themselves
and supplies the disinfecting supplies, or whether
FUUSM does that. Since the AA group already cleans up
after themselves, it seems they can continue to do
that with disinfecting supplies that they bring with
them. Or FUUSM can supply the alcohol or bleach
solution and cleaning cloth.<br>
<br>
<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">It also makes sense
to me that FUUSM committees should be able to hold
the same kind of physically distancing meetings and
make the use of masks a requirement for in-person
meetings. Those on committees who cannot face to
face meet or who do not wish to, can attend via zoom
just like they do for Sunday service.<br>
<br>
<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I believe the
limit of ten people in attendance at group
meetings has been lifted as the State of Ohio has
reopened, however it seems that it's still too
early to hold church services or sporting events.
Personally, it's too early for me to enter back
into many social interactions, just as it is for
many in the congregation. We all have to realize
that each of us is responsible for our own health
protection and that we each must take appropriate
precautions. We must also realize that what is
appropriate for me as a 65+, heart and lung
compromised, and immune compromised person (with
the exception of a mask) isn't the same for
someone else. <br>
<br>
<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I don't serve
on any committees, but I hope those who do, take
these observations under consideration. I am
willing to find out how other meetings are being
held and gather the ODHS recommendations to
share with you. Thanks.<br>
