THE NOONERS GROUP
By
December of 1973, several AA members in the Panama City,
Florida area found themselves unable to regularly attend
an evening AA meeting. This problem was caused by a number
of reasons, the most prevailing being work commitments.
In
order to provide everyone with an opportunity to meet, two
members of other AA groups in the area came up with an idea
to form an AA group which would meet at 12:00 noon instead
of the normal evening time. It was from this idea that the
name "Nooners" came.
And
so it was that Jack H. and Joe W. founded The Nooners Group
of AA This new group held its first meeting on the 5th of
December, 1973, in the facilities of the Forest Park United
Methodist Church at the corner of 23rd street and Lisenby
Avenue in Panama City, Florida. The Nooners Group continues
to meet at this location.
The
first meetings of The Nooners Group were held every Wednesday
at 12:00 noon. Membership in this group grew and eventually,
meeting days were expanded to Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
The need for a closed discussion meeting for women AA members
was recognized, and Monday noon meetings were later set
aside for them.
On
February 5, 1974, The Nooners Group of AA was formally registered
by the General Service Office of AA.
The
first General Service Representative of The Nooners Group
was Jack H. Others who served as GSR for this group included
Ray B., Nell W., Bo S., and Tom B.
Current
meetings of The Nooners Group follow:

12:00 Noon
