Going to meetings shouldn't be just attending an event, but also being a part of a family. Old-timers who've been less active, as well as newcomers, don't always feel like family. If each of us would just be on the alert to spot unfamiliar faces, the awkward ones who seem to be strangers, it would help a great deal. If we have any sensitivity at all, we can pick out our brothers or sisters who haven't been here for some time, or those who are here for their first time. Once we notice them, let's go to them after the meeting and chat a bit and get to know them better. Invite them to join us in a cup of coffee. Offer our phone numbers. Maybe give them a call during the week. Show them that we are interested in them.
