(These meetings are designated with an asterisk* below) If you have questions about participating in a phone meeting, please contact mn.ga.webweaver@gmail.com

This is an excellent service opportunity! Commit a few hours a week to helping compulsive gamblers on the phone. Click here for a volunteer sign-up and information sheet. Thank you for your service!
Wanted: Your Experience, Strength, & Hope!
Sharing stories of our addiction and recovery are vital for those in all stages of recovery - newcomers and old-timers alike. GA members are encouraged to speak of their personal journeys, and share their experience, strength, and hope.
Choose from these excellent opportunities:
1. Volunteers are needed to speak the first Saturday of each month at the St. Alban's speaker meeting.
2. Volunteers are needed to speak at the South-of-the-River speaker meeting. That speaker meeting is the third Saturday of January, March, May, July, September, and November. Send an email to mn.ga.webweaver@gmail.com to sign up!
3. The Public Relations Committee receives requests from treatment centers in the metro area, and organizes GA members to speak at those facilities. If you have at least six months of clean time, you can speak! If you have less than six months, you can still speak if you bring your sponsor with you.
The Public Relations Committee holds workshops to help people tell their story. Keep an eye on this space for a future workshop. And, click here for a flyer with more details!

Get Involved and Be Of Service!
Gamblers Anonymous exists because thousands of recovering gamblers have given countless hours of service. Setting up rooms, leading meetings, and cleaning up after, are usually the first service roles that we perform. But as we grow in recovery, more service opportunities present themselves. Each is a way to strengthen our GA community, and a way to practice Step 12. Click here for a flyer with descriptions of several exciting and fulfilling service opportunities available.
