Anywhere you have telephone access. 4:00 PM - MDT(Open Meeting). You can make contact as early as 3:45 PM. A Chairperson will take your first name and last initial (if you wish, you may use another name) and put you on the list to speak. However, if you just wish to listen, you may do that as well. This meeting is run like a regular GA Meeting. It is totally anonymous. The Chairperson will state the guidelines at the beginning of the call. The call will last until 6:00 PM but members may leave the call at any time. This meeting is perfect for:
* Those who cannot get to a regular meeting
* During times of inclement weather
* For friends and relatives of the gambler who want to
learn more about compulsive gambling
* For those out of town on vacation or business
* Those who "just need a meeting"
