Upcoming Events

Our traditions remind us that our primary purpose is to support the addict who still suffers and that our personal recovery depends on SAA unity. One way we can support each other is through shared fellowship in outer circle activities. In that spirit, here are some exciting opportunities in the coming weeks for us to engage with each other outside the meeting atmosphere.

Reservations are often needed, and all dates are tentative and subject to change.

  • November 6th, Friday — Giving Thanks potluck and gratitude meeting, 6–9pm! At 2512 NW Marshall St, Apt 5 — free parking on Marshall west of 25th, and everywhere after 7pm. Partners are welcome. Bring any dish or beverage to share. The evening raises funds for the ISO’s annual ask — no contribution is required; give at the event or via Venmo @Sarah-Blaszczak-1. Questions? Contact Sarah at 510-213-3389. See the event Flyer.
  • November 14th, Saturday — Second Saturday Speaker Brunch, 11:15am! Gather for brunch, then watch Josh share as our 2nd Saturday speaker at 11:30am. Partners are welcome. To RSVP, contact Sarah at 510-213-3389.
