Public Information (PI) Committee News
The Maine Chapter PI Committee will be reaching out to each meeting to ask you to consider at your August Business Meeting when you might commit to hosting Public Information sessions in 2027. By scheduling in advance, we are then able to work as a chapter to send this information out to a wider audience through handouts created and shared a statewide Public Information events, as well as posting on the Maine Public Community Calendar, the FA website, and Adult Education flyers throughout the state.
If you are a Public Information representative or Chapter Contact for your meeting, please be on the lookout for this email.

Tool For Today
TELEPHONE
Food addiction is a disease of self-centeredness and isolation, so we use the telephone daily to connect with FA members. We begin with a committed call to our sponsor. Phoning others throughout the day, we share our hope, and when we need help, we ask for it. Above all, we call if we are tempted to take the first addictive bite.
Sunday, September 20, 2026
8:15am - 10:00am
ALL FA MEMBERS ARE WELCOME
FA Members gather monthly to share experience, strength, and hope; to discuss issues that arise in our meetings, and to generate new ideas on how we can better reach food addicts on a local and regional level.
