Meeting Verification

There are several reasons why you might want to confirm your attendance at a meeting at our fellowship — court or sober living requirements, partnership arrangements, etc. Per our traditions, we do not hold any opinions on these outside issues. As an anonymous program we seek to minimize the need for our members to break anonymity for any reason.

Ultimately, as with physical meeting verification, online meeting attendance accounting is your personal responsibility.

All of the meetings at the San Carlos Peninsula Fellowship are hybrid meetings — available in person and over Zoom. Depending on how you attend, our fellowship provides the following support:

In-Person Attendance

The secretary for a meeting may provide a signature asserting the attendance of a member. In doing so they need only sign and date — providing no other personal information.

Online Meeting Attendance

We do not offer online meeting verification — but there are steps you can take to record this information for yourself:

• Record the date, time, and format of the meeting (speaker, book study, etc.).
• Record the Meeting ID and your personal Participant ID — both can be found via the green shield icon during a meeting.
