Effective date: June 1, 2025

Email insurance@area78.org

Provide the following :

– Name of insured entity
– Day of the Week
– Time of Meeting
– Name of the facility

Birthday Celebrations

Sobriety Birthdays are celebrated in most meetings on the first or last meeting in the month. The celebrant typically talks about their journey in sobriety – what it was like, what happened and what it is like now. A great way to see how the program works!

Please check out the ECO Newsletter to see who is celebrating their birthday this month!
