• The 2nd would be the “Group Inventory” this would be the only off site one
•  The 3rd would be “How to do a 12-step call”
• We could get some Like Pat C (I think) who has been on a lot of  12 steps to talk
• We could get someone for the ARC
• Maybe we could get Maggie who is a ER Doctor to talk
• And maybe someone is who is a member of EO because of 12 step call ---Suzann?
• We would have to form an ad hock committee to organize and put these on.
