January 9th 2022 – Guest speaker Debbi H.
“The only requirement for OA membership is a desire to stop eating compulsively.” & “Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or OA as a whole.”
February 13th 2022 – Guest speaker Lawrie C.
“Each group has but one primary purpose – to carry it’s message to the compulsive overeater who still suffers.” & “An OA group ought never endorse, finance or lend the OA name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.”
March 13th 2022 – Guest speaker Carol T.
“Every OA group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.” & “Overeaters Anonymous should remain forever non-professional, but our service centers may employ special workers.”
April 10th 2022 – Guest speaker Samantha
“OA, as such, ought never be organized; but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.” & “Overeaters Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence, the OA name ought never be drawn into public controversy.”
May 8th 2022 – Guest speaker Penny C
“Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, films, television and other public media of communication.” & “Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all these Traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.”
