The D.A. New England Intergroup publishes meeting listings in three forms:
1) The on-line (HTML) edition that is readable with almost every Web browser
2) The print edition on-line, posted on this Web site in Adobe® Acrobat® (PDF) format
3) The print edition on paper, available by mail and at the monthly meetings of the New England Intergroup
Usually within two days after we receive new information, it appears in the on-line edition and the print edition on-line. We do not reprint the meeting list on paper every time there is any change of information.
For the on-line (HTML) edition of the D.A. New England Meeting List, updated on

ATTN: Meeting List
This Meeting List is compiled by the D.A. New England Intergroup (NEIG) and revised as warranted by new information. The date of the print edition most recently distributed on paper and the specifics of recent changes are mentioned in the recorded announcement at (617) 728-1426. Ideally the most recent printed Meeting List is available at each listed meeting.
While we strive to list all D.A. meetings that are held regularly, we consider it a disservice to list a meeting that will not occur. Therefore we will include only those meetings whose existence can be confirmed by the D.A. New England Intergroup. If your meeting wants to be included in these listings, please contact the NEIG by e-mail, mail or telephone to keep us apprised of your Intergroup representatives or other contact persons. Likewise, please let the NEIG know if your meeting is dissolving or if it is changing its location or meeting time.
