How can I find Al-Anon meetings and events in District 7 (Pinellas County)?

Updated

District 7 of Al-Anon's North Florida Area serves Pinellas County, and the site offers two main ways to find meetings and events: a printable "When & Where" PDF schedule and an online calendar. The PDF is updated every few months, while the online calendar is updated more frequently — so check the calendar first for the most current meeting and event information, and use the PDF when you want something to print or keep on hand.

Where to look on the site

The District 7 site (d7afg.org) points visitors to two resources:

  • When & Where — a printable PDF schedule of meetings, described as updated every few months.
  • Online Calendar — meeting and event listings that the site says are updated more frequently than the PDF.

Because the two sources update on different schedules, they can occasionally disagree. If a meeting time or location matters for your plans, the online calendar is the better first stop, and the PDF is best treated as a general reference rather than the latest word.

Other ways to confirm details

  • Information Line — the site invites anyone who needs to talk to someone to contact its Information Line. This is a direct way to confirm a meeting detail or ask about a specific group.
  • Al-Anew's Newsletter — the site lists a newsletter as another place for the latest updates, which can help if you want periodic news rather than checking the calendar each time.

A practical way to use these resources

  1. Open the Online Calendar to find a meeting or event that fits your schedule.
  2. If you want a printed copy or a broader overview, download the When & Where PDF.
  3. If anything looks inconsistent, or you're unsure whether a group is meeting, call the Information Line before you go.

The site also notes that several service positions are available for those who want to get more involved — worth knowing if you're looking for a way to participate beyond attending meetings.
