As we approach the beginning of a new year, we are all hoping that we can start taking meetings into hospitals, jails and institutions again. A lot of our new members have never experienced carrying the message into Perry Point, Harford County Detention Center or one of the many other facilities that we served. Please talk with the newcomers about the experiences you have had over the years taking meeting into those who can't get out and carrying the message of recovery.

from the Chair . . .
The holidays, no matter how you may celebrate them, are upon us. I along with all of the NEMDAA officers, committee chairs and IG office staff wanted to wish everyone a Happy, Safe and Merry Holiday Season.
Please continue to practice COVID-mitigation techniques as well. Wear a mask, maintain physical distance, and limit your time around people “outside of your bubble”. Even inviting people to your home or going to a friend’s house can expose you to the virus. Instead, please find creative ways to spent time with those you care about.
Last year at this time, our IG office underwent a Maryland Department of Labor review. We performed amazingly well in large part to respecting our IG office policies which are; please where a mask, especially if you are unvaccinated, and upon request from our office staff regardless of vaccination status. Their safety and yours is of our utmost concern and coincides with our traditions of respecting others’ opinions. Maintain physical separation. We have a table that should help remind you of maintaining physical distance. On the table we have hand sanitizer which is an effective way of cleaning your hands. Curbside service is always an alternative option.
Thanks to everyone that donated and continue to donate through the 7th tradition. Through your continued assistance, we maintain an open, safe, and vibrant intergroup office with new and time-tested literature options, medallions, and a friendly and helpful office staff.
Please take care over the holidays and reach out to someone if you are in need.
Happy Holidays!
Rex, Love in Service
