| Friday, October 18 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM | Al-Anon AFG- Reaching for Personal Freedom
Meets in the Classroom
"AFG" stands for "Al-Anon Family Groups." Since alcoholism is a family disease, the Al-Anon Family Groups are organized to hold regular meetings to help people deal with the effects of alcoholism.
Every Friday an Al-Anon Group meets here. Members start with the question: “How can I help my problem drinker quit drinking?” Meetings are on Fridays at 12 noon in the Undercroft. Membership is open to anyone who wants to do something to help someone they care about with his or her drinking problem.
