Summary

Craig W had been sober about 3 years and was from Sandy Hook Connecticut at the time he did this speak on Steps 4 and 5 at the Broken Elevator Group in November of 2021. I spent a good chunk of the last week learning and tweaking the new event software I purchased for the website (Thank you so much to those of you that have donated to Sober Cast, you made that possible). I also edited the form for submitting an event to be a bit more robust, there's a bit of tweaking to do but I'm mostly there. You can now search for AA events by date or location and automatically save an event to your calendar with one click, plus one click to download the event flyer to take to your homegroup. The events are linked directly to the venue using google maps for easy directions. View the event list: http://cduck.us/events Along those lines if you are in the area, the 45th Annual Sacramento Spring Fling is happening February 10-12. You can register at the door.
