Meeting Makers Make It ... but they need to know where the meetings are!

This online listing of A. A. meetings in and around Orange County, California is put together from many sources, including local and central office meeting directories, the listings of local clubs, and direct information from the groups and members involved.

It is offered as a free service to those who need it. It is unaffiliated with any official bodies – or with any outside organization, for that matter.

As with all we do in A. A., we rely on each other for meeting information. Where this is especially important to clear up, we have added a little pop-up [Note], alerting the viewer and asking for help.

Please let us know – s.i.meetings@gmail.com – of any corrections, additions, subtractions and suggestions you may have – so that, together, we can let those who need us know where to find us.

Notes

— Unless otherwise specified, all meetings are open to anyone with an interest in recovery from alcoholism.
    — Likewise, unless specified as a ‘Speaker’ meeting, you may expect ‘Participation’ of some sort.
    — “Closed” meetings are only for those who themselves have a “desire to stop drinking”.
    — You may generally assume that there is no smoking in the meetings.
    — The © symbol next to an address indicates that it is wheelchair-accessible.
    — To make finding the meetings easier, out of respect for our hosts, we have tried to fully identify the locations in which we meet.
    — Where we did have to shorten names, we apologize. For example, while all Methodists are in fact United, the extra word doesn't fit well in the lines.
    — We have also added links to Maps for each meeting, and the links themselves contain (as a pop-up) the Thomas Guide coordinates.
    — The meeting format, unless made clear in the group name, is shown below the address.
    — If only the format is known, the space for a group name is left blank.
    — If there really is no A. A. group, however, it is not really an A. A. meeting at all. Please advise!
    — Genuine A. A. meetings, and the groups that hold them, are not – should never be – affiliated in any way with any locations in which they are held, whether they be hospitals, schools, clubs, treatment or community centers, etc.

The Saddleback Valley Fellowship Center, which hosts 57 of the Lake Forest meetings, advises: 'Park in back of, not in, the Strip Mall, and not next to the door. Enter the driveway east of Raymond Way behind the Strip Mall. Look for the green fence at the back entrance.' [Note]
