Service

Thank you everyone who turned out for the NEMDAA Intergroup New Year’s Eve Dinner Dance in North East! We all had a great time and the event was sold out! The food prepared by chef John H. and crew was top notch, the hall was beautifully decorated by Chrissy H. and company, our speaker, Rex did a fabulous job and thank you to those who donated all of the door prizes. We had a blast dancing to the great tunes by our DJ, The Music Mann (Barry Redemann). We raised a profit for Intergroup (still TBD) but the whole event was a smash and we hope to have it again next year! Thanks to my other committee members who also were a big help: James T., Alex P., Kirsten, Chris, Trish D., Pat E., Lauren, Christian, to NE Methodist Church for hosting us and especially to the AA Intergroup for sponsoring us.
Happy New Year! – Michele C.
