Dawn Farm will present the following Education Series programs in November 2007:

"Alcoholics Anonymous: An Informal History " will be presented on November 20, 2007; 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm, by Jim Balmer. This NEW and exciting slide presentation will provide an overview of the founding and growth of A.A., and a brief overview of the 12 Steps.

"Alcoholics Anonymous: A Panel Discussion " will be presented on November 27, 2007; 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm. This presentation will provide a lively, moderated panel discussion regarding alcoholism and addiction, personal recovery, and individual participation in 12 Step programs.

All Education Series programs are presented in the St. Joseph Mercy Hospital Education Center auditorium, 5305 Elliott Drive, Ypsilanti. All programs are free and open to all; presentations are intended to have broad appeal and are geared toward a diverse audience. No registration is required. Each workshop is approved by the Michigan Certification Board for Addiction Professionals (MCBAP) to provide 1.5 free CE hours. All staff are invited to attend, and we will be grateful for your help in informing clients, families and others!
