We’ll see if I can get this to post…
Okay, well there’s that. I’m so happy you got to give being a secretary a shot, and OY VEY! How about that horse, there?! Talk about a popped cherry, lol. *yoinks* I think I am going to have nightmares (hahaha, a pun and I didn’t realize it until I started typing) about that pic.
“Nightmares”… LOL! Why didn’t i think of that?

Wow, your first time. You had to make all the announcements and stuff? I don’t know how it goes exactly. I know about setting up coffee and eating cookies, but the rest …
JUST SAY YES to sobriety. mel
Hi Mel!
It’s pretty easy, actually. There’s a notebook with the entire agenda and word for word transcripts about what i’m supposed to say. Plus, i’ve been to enough meetings that i know how they go… It’s a good feeling to help out!
