Meeting Notes
The Men's Group holds in-person meetings in the Library Room of Grace Lutheran Church. Grace Lutheran Church, nicknamed "Dorito Church", is at the corner of Garner and Beaver Avenue. The format is topic discussion and the topic is decided by the first member who wishes to share. Occasionally we ask a home group member to share his story on his anniversary. This meeting is open to anyone with a desire to stop drinking, but is closed to individuals who do not themselves have a drinking problem.

Types of AA Meetings
Cross Talk Permitted: Cross talk refers to speech in AA meetings that are directed toward a specific member, rather than the group, and is generally critical. Crosstalk is generally not permitted in AA because it is considered disruptive and can undermine the unity of the group. However, some AA chapters allow cross talk in discussions.
Discussion: AA discussion meetings in Pennsylvania are structured around a central topic related to alcoholism and recovery. After opening the meeting and sharing the topic, leaders may share briefly from a related AA text. Then, they’ll add their own insights and encourage others to participate in the conversation.
Men: Men who are impacted by alcohol use disorder may seek out a men’s-only AA group. In Pennsylvania, these AA groups offer 12 Step Programs that center on issues relating to the health and recovery for men of all ages at no cost.
