New Meeting List Format

ALISON has changed the Meeting List format from a two-sided legal-size page to a four-page letter-sized format starting with the list released in April. This new format allows us more room to accommodate more meeting listings and other useful information. Therefore, will no longer post two versions of the Meeting List. You can print all four pages, each on a new page, or you can print them on both sides of the paper by first printing pages 1 and 3, flipping the paper over and reinserting into your printer, and then print pages 2 and 4. You may have to experiment a bit to figure out how to orient the paper when you reinsert it.

The posted Meeting List may be more up-to-date than the printed list that is normally distributed at Quarterly Meetings. The Meeting Page will always have the most up-to-date meeting information.

New Board Members

The ALISON Board welcomes two new Board Members. Terri is our new Meeting List Coordinator, and Ellen is our new Liaison to AA. The Board and all of the Groups and Members of Nassau County welcome them to the Board. Why don't you come to the next Board Meeting to welcome them personally and meeting the rest of the Board? AGRs can vote at Board Meetings but all Al-Anon members are welcome to attend and take part in our discussions. Yes, you have a voice even if you can't vote.

The ALISON Board has the following Open positions. Please seriously consider taking one of these positions. Service on the ALISON Board is not only important to the health of our Members and Groups, but it is a very personally rewarding Service position. We are in need of the following:

ALISON Board Meeting Minutes

We are now posting ALISON Board Meeting minutes on the on the Members page. We encourage you to read them and pass around a copy at your meetings so that you will know what ALISON does for you and for Nassau County Al-Anon, and what issues are currently before the Board. Board Meetings are open to all Al-Anon members. While only Board Members may vote, everyone is welcome to come to a meeting to contribute comments and ideas.

New Donation Form

We have a new form that you should use when making donations to ALISON. It is a much different format and has our new address on it. Please use it. You may download a copy from the Members page.

Did You Know?

The Meeting Address List is available as an Excel Spreadsheet and a PDF. Send your request to the Webmaster.

The Events Page prints nicely and cleanly so that you can print it from your browser and take a copy to your group. To see how it looks, go to the Events page and click on the "Print Preview".

Also on the Events Page, you will find, near the top of the page, a date labelled "Last Addition to Page". This is the date that any new additions to the page were posted. This way, you can easily tell if there are any new events or announcement since your last visit.
