Each stick has a recovery topic written on it.  We will take turns, randomly picking a stick and then sharing on that topic that was chosen.   I first experienced \u201cPopsicle Sticks\u201d at the Thursday Midnight night meeting at the Northwest Alano Club in Wayne Michigan.  At first I hated it, then I got used to it, then it became my favorite meeting.     Flash forward to 2008ish when the PC Alano club started in Canton, Michigan.  On September 28, 2008, the Canton Candlelight meeting started at the PC Alano Club.  Soon after that, this style of meeting started on Thursday nights. This style of meeting continues at Canton Candlelight every Thursday at 10:00 pm and is led by are own Matt O.   Here\u2019s how it goes. Pick a stick Announce the topic to all Share on the topic Keep the stick Pass the can   ______________________________________________________ We asked our listeners about this topic.   Now, listeners, If you would like to participate in these weekly surveys, just email me for an invite request.  Email me at mark@recoveredcast.com And I will send you an invite to our Recoveredcast Google group.  This group receives the show notes for the upcoming show.
