Question Need to go to meetings with court card

I have a court card and have to go to meetings, what I am wondering is what part do I fill in? it has name of meeting, location, and date. I went to one, and they asked for court cards. I didn't know what to do and didn't want to ask...

thanks

Hi, I dunno, just hand it over when they ask, or maybe call the reception at the court and they'll be able to tell you?

I dunno! But good luck to you

chances are very good that half the room will know exactly what to do. Just ask the meeting chair.

Welcome!

SoberRecovery is a great place to discuss AA questions.

At our meetings, people put court slips in the money collection box as it is passed around, and then they pick up the signed slips from the secretary after the end of the meeting.

Put your name on it in case it falls on the floor as most have a similar appearance. The chairperson can fill in the rest. And maybe listen with an open mind.

Can I fill in the info?

Can I fill in the info myself, and just leave the signature line blank? I don't like talking to people I don't know. I am very shy. The meeting I went to I was uncomfortable. The people were friendly, I am just not outgoing and would like to know if it is ok to fill in the meeting information before it goes in the basket? And do I put the whole address or just the city of the meeting? Thank you for all the replies.

My only advice, don't blow it off. If this is court ordered, make a record of your attendance. If you are complacent and don't, the legal system will use every resource at their disposal to ruin your life. Best wishes.

Just let the chairperson (the person who starts and ends the meeting) fill everything out. They are used to it. It's not a big deal. Usually they do it at the end after the meeting is over. No one is going to bite your head off.
