After careful consideration in a group conscience discussion, S-n-S has decided to close. This decision reflects diminishing home group resources, and we believe it is the right time to close this meeting with dignity and grace.
Here’s the good news. We’re still meeting (with breakfast) in June:

June 7: Joe C.
June 14: Stephanie W.
June 21: Ashley E.
June 28: 41st Anniversary (Last meeting!)

Last Meeting is June 28 and is the 41st Anniversary
This will be a breakfast celebration for the 41 years we were able to keep the doors open. S-n-S kept us sober, and now we are free to help at other meetings. Doors open at 8am with open mic at 9am. Food, raffles, door prizes. Everyone is invited ! ! !
“The meeting is short, but the message is sweet – sobriety, our most precic:ms gift.”
