After travelling to many meetings, in many foreign countries, as well as physically (NOT via Zoom) attending multiple meetings in each, and in every single state in the United States (yes all 50 of them in person) from August 1988 until November 1992, it means something (I can't say what !) to say this group is one of our all time favorite groups.
The physical chemistry of a groups meeting room contributes to the over all 'feel' of a meeting.
All too often, when a group changes its location (the rent was raised etc) the group (it may take some time) ceases to exist.
Scottsdale / Phoenix, Arizona
5631 East Shea Blvd and North 56th Street
The New Church of Phoenix
Home of the 'Lets Talk About It' group.
Below is the main entrance to the church. However, because 80% of the parking is in the rear of the church, 80% of the members enter from the rear of the church.
In the below photo, you can see the cars parked in front of the church.
In the above photo, notice the black car, second car on the right, and behind it, the masonry wall with a column at its end.
In the below photo, off to the left and not visible, is the front of the church (see the above photos). Looking straight ahead, in the distance, you can see the larger parking area behind the church. Notice the black car and the masonry wall with its column.
Below is a view of the rear of the church. IF you want to get a seat you prefer, you need to be at the 5:30pm meeting at least 30 minutes early. On Friday you need to be at least 45 minutes early.
Now we will go and see the rear parking area.
To snap the below photo of the empty rear parking area, we were at the church a full 60 minutes early.
Panning to the left, in the below photo, we see more of the rear parking area.
In the next photo below, we look to our left as we walk into the church, "Our two favorite chairs" are the two chairs at the right end of the row of four chairs immediately under the lovely stained glass window.
On the "Kitchen Counter" to the left in the above photo, there are always a lot of snacks!

Below is a closer look at 'Our two favorite chairs' that are located in the row of four chairs under the stained glass window.
The Twelve Steps.
In the first photo below, I am sitting in 'my' chair looking straight ahead at the meeting room.
Below I am looking off to my left.
The next three photos below show you that this group is really well organized regarding all of our program literature from books to pamphlets.
The 'Lets Talk About It' group meets six days a week. Monday through Friday and Sunday.
We love the exceedingly well organized group and we love the setting in the church.
