GSR Announcements (Quick Script)

Unity Day is back for 2025, and we have a date and location: Saturday, October 18th at the First Unitarian Universalist Center in Downtown San Francisco from 10am to 4pm. Unity Day is a fun event with workshops, speakers, food, fun and fellowship. The committee is looking for volunteers to bring their ideas and energy to the Planning Kickoff Meeting this Saturday, July 19th at Noon on Zoom. To learn more about Unity Day, important links and meeting information—including some of the advantages of our new location—please visit NorCalCMA.org/UnityDay.

Please splash around with us at the first NorCal CMA Retreat fundraiser—a pool party and BBQ at Todd N's house in Sacramento this Saturday, July 19th from 1 to 7 pm.

The Hospitals & Institutions Committee is still looking for volunteers to bring meetings into new facilities in and around Northern California. If you are interested in bringing a CMA meeting to those who can't get out, please email hospitalschair@norcalcma.org.

Hospitals & Institutions

The NorCal CMA H&I committee has been flooded with requests from facilities to host CMA meetings in their facilities. We have a waiting list for locations in San Francisco, Sacramento, San Jose, and Santa Cruz but we need a minimum of four volunteers per facility before we can add a new facility to the schedule.

Many times, an H&I meeting is the first introduction to Crystal Meth Anonymous that many inmates, clients, or patients receive. Therefore, it is important that the message of recovery through the Twelve Steps be informative, clear, concise, positive, and solution oriented.

H&I Committee Meeting — 4th Saturdays

10:30 am to 11:15 am PT
Next Meetings: 6/22/2024, 7/27/2024, 8/24/2024

Join Meeting: https://zoom.us/j/84737139750

Passcode: H&I2023

If you are interested in learning more about H&I or how you can get connected with service to a facility, please join us on the 4th Saturday of Every month on Zoom, or email hospitalschair@norcalcma.org.

We host dozens of events throughout the year to provide opportunities for connection and fellowship outside of meetings. Join us at our online committee meetings on the 4th Monday of every month at 7:30 pm.

Share Your Voice, Strengthen Our Unity

NorCal CMA is committed to fostering safe, inclusive spaces for all recovering crystal meth addicts, regardless of age, race, physical appearance, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, background, disability, or other personal identifiers, while engaging our fellowship around issues of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in their local meetings.

Click Here to take the 2024 NorCal CMA Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Survey.

We want to encourage all Norcal CMA members to submit the anonymous survey, which will take about 14 minutes to complete. We acknowledge that the survey is lengthy, but it will be instrumental in helping inform the NorCal DEI Committee on how to effectively serve our community based on the areas that are most important to our members.

The NorCal DEI Committee will host several listening sessions in San Francisco, San Jose, and hopefully another location between October and December. Please periodically check norcalcma.org for updated information regarding listening session dates, times,and locations.
