The Coronavirus pandemic has had a severe impact for now on Capital District Al-Anon meetings being able to meet in-person. However, many meetings are being held virtually online, on Zoom and GoToMeeting. Due to the pandemic, this website may not always have the most current information. However, we are glad you are here! Welcome!
