19 December Webinar: Carrying the Message Effectively and Virtually
The next open webinar will be 11:00 am-1:00 pm, Pacific Standard Time. The focus is on PR service that supports virtual H&I efforts. Members of the Fellowship will share their experience carrying the message virtually to jails, prisons, and parolees. We are asking fewer members to share this time, so that there will be more time for questions and answers.
We will once again be using the Zoom webinar platform and live-streaming the webinar to YouTube at the same time. Spanish and Portuguese interpretation feeds will be available on the Zoom platform. We would be happy to provide an interpretation feed for any other language community that needs it and that can provide an interpreter. The Zoom log-in information is here, and the live-stream link will be posted on the Local Service Toolbox project page when the webinar begins: www.na.org/toolbox.

Spiritual Principle a Day Review and Input Batch 4
The SPAD project has posted entries on ten spiritual principles for Fellowship review and input through the end of January. Giving input not only helps the project, it gives you a taste of the writing so far. This batch is on anonymity, discernment, empathy, faith, gratitude, honesty, hope, open-mindedness, vigilance, and willingness. You can give input on as many or as few entries as you like. The entries are put together with the help of writing from members around the world. The current spiritual principles to write on are autonomy, conscience, fidelity, individuality, listening, powerlessness, self-discipline, serenity, and trust.

In service,
