AL-ANON MEETING AT ED CENTER
Each week on Tuesday evening at 8 pm, there is an Al-Anon meeting at the Ed Center. This meeting is based on the 12 Steps, 12 Traditions and the concepts of Al-anon. Al-anon is a mutual support group for anyone affected by someone else's drinking. Al-anon family groups are a fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics who share their experience, strengths and hopes in order to solve their common problems. Alcoholism is a family illness and changed attitudes can aid a person's recovery. Al-anon has but one purpose, to help families of alcoholics.
