Tradition 10 - no opinion on outside issues ... Anyone else have something from the literature about this?

Good luck with chairing in October.

And please don't say something like "I'm handing out some literature" (or whatever) - handout is a bad word (LOL). Even "I'm passing around the calendar" sounds suspiciously communitarian. And don't just "give" a medallion, rather stress how the person EARNED the medallion through HARD WORK and RIGHT THINKING and all that.

I hope you keep that "nice calm Buddhist lady" next to you.

For Al-Anon members, Tradition 5 is even blunter: "has but one purpose". Not one primary purpose, but one purpose, period.
