SUMMARY FOR THE DAILY 7PM MEETING

The Host has a speaker share for 10-15 minutes, has a few announcements and then picks attendees to share.

HOST INFO

You are responsible for finding the speakers for the daily 7 pm meeting for the week, which runs Monday - Sunday.

Please look at the group calendar for any members that have an anniversary and ask them to speak. The group also asks to find speakers who normally do not attend the meeting if possible. When there are multiple anniversaries on the same day, preference should be given to the person with the least sobriety.

STARTING THE MEETING

READ: Welcome to the Hollywood Squares men’s no topic DISCUSSION meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous with a 10-15 min lead speaker. We meet every night at 7 PM Eastern along with 4 additional meetings on the weekends. The co-hosts will post the meeting schedule in the chat after speaker.

This group asks participants to remain muted unless sharing. Please keep your camera on, your screen labeled with your first name & where you are from.

Let’s open this meeting with a moment of silence. I’ve asked XXXX to do the moment of silence and read the Serenity Prayer & and I’ve asked XXXX to read the Preamble.

Introduce your speaker.

AFTER THE SPEAKER

Ask…

  • the group Treasurer (Matt B for the 7th tradition)

  • the Medallion guy for anniversary information. (Danny L - Boston)

REMINDER: Wednesdays turn the meeting over after the Medallions announcement to Breakout rooms.

READ:

Please Open “the Chat feature” for announcements. There is a raise hand feature if you wish to share. Also, the group asks that you do not use emojis in your name or on the screen during meetings.

The "EVERYONE" chat feature is for group business, 7th tradition, and other group announcements. The co-hosts will now post upcoming outgoing commitments & the meeting schedule link.

When using the chat feature make sure you select the specific person you want to send a message to and do not use the “reply feature that pops up. Prior to sending your message, keep an eye on the selected person name in the To Box to make sure you are not sending it to “everyone”

START THE DISCUSSIONS

READ:

We call on those new to the meeting or have not seen for a while. Please limit sharing to 3 minutes or less.

PRO TIP: Get a notebook or sheet of paper for each night and track who you call on. We get over 160 different people over the 7 days and it's easy to lose track and leave people out. Click this link for a printable Host Aide to help you keep track: Host Aide

END THE MEETING

Ask the speaker to close with Lord’s Prayer

NOTES:

The Host should post in chat their upcoming speakers. They should also limit any talk between people sharing as it could be distracting and takes up time of other potential speakers.

If you have to leave early and you are the host, please assign the host to another member (let that person know you passed the host).

If it says to "End the Meeting for all" that means you are the host - so don't end meeting prematurely.
