Events are updated regularly so please remember to refresh the pages! Locations and time change.
November 20th - Let's visit the Family Fun Center since we were stormed out of Putt-Putt last time. But, if that happens this time, we'll head for Lucky Lanes and try some bowling! Lucky Lanes is right on S. Florida Avenue, too.
November 13th - The Lakeland Community Theater is performing "Misery", a Steven King play. This is a live performance on stage, not a movie. Tickets are $24 to $30 depending in seating. We are congregating on the left half of the big center section from rows D back to J. The play runs from the 6th to the15th. Be sure to pick Friday, the 13th! Seems the most fitting time to go since the play is a psychological thriller!
We'll grab burgers afterward at Grievous Angel, right across the street. More details? Click here!November 27th - That's the Friday of Thanksgiving weekend. Seems there is an adventure over to Tampa in the works; MOSI is having a Grateful Dead Laser Light Show. More details are at Mosi.Org
The music of Gratefull Dead lives! Say... so does their drummer. We're getting an AA band together in Lakeland and we need a drummer! Seriously, we already have a place to practice and several wonderful interested musicians.
December 3rd (Thursday) - is the 45th Annual Lakeland Christmas Parade! The event begins at 7:00 PM with a fireworks display over Lake Mirror. The parade then leaves the RP Funding Center, travels through Downtown Lakeland, and back to the Center. The corner of S. Lake and E. Orange is usually a good spot! The City's official parade route map is forth coming.
December 4th - Dinner after the Beginner's Meeting TBA!
Stay tuned and refresh your browser every visit. All kinds of plans are being considered.
This web page is a new way to get new people in the program involved in an old idea! What do we do on Friday nights after the party's over and we finally stop drinkin' and druggin'? They say to change people, places, and things. Sure. Just how do we do that? It means meeting new people, going places we haven't been before, and doing new things. We share the joy we find by hanging around with other like minded people.Jumping on an internet chat with a bestie who lives in cyberspace is great, but it isn't quite the same. We're here when the power goes out! We are never alone when we have live local litter mates. At THIS FRIDAY we don't have to explain ourselves. We're free! We can have fun and recover TOGETHER.
The Big Book says, "We absolutely insist on enjoying life." It's on page 132. We are a happy lot, and if you want what we have, ya' gotta' do what we do!
If you're unsure... if you have questions, comments, or concerns, ask the person who sent you this personal invitation!
If you're an old timer, or a sponsor wanting to check this out, bring a coffee and join us. It might just be fun for you, too. Let's don't let the organization get in the way of the objective. When we're new in sobriety, what else is there to do in Lakeland, FL on Friday night? Stay home and read about Living Sober or start doing it. Come on! Help us show 'em how it's done. Tradition 1 - "Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon A.A. unity."
