Wednesday meetings are topic meetings, during the first half of which members comment upon a specific question posed by someone in the group, followed by a general sharing period. Saturday meetings are speaker meetings, during the first half of which one OA member volunteers to share her or his experience, strength, and hope with the rest of the attenders. The second half of the meeting is opened for personal sharing. Sunday meetings are topic meetings the first Sunday of every month; the rest of the Sundays are literature meetings.
COST: Free! We do pass an optional collection basket around halfway through each meeting to help us pay for our room rental.

perfume or cologne in the meeting space. In addition, service dogs must be leashed to their owners at all times.
