A.A.'s Country-wide News Circuit

Cincinnatians Active

Under the auspices of the Salvation Army's Men's social center a banquet at the Cincinnati, Ohio, Club recently attracted more than 250 men and women. Major Paul Harvey of the Salvation Army served as chairman and introduced Major Peter Hofman of Cleveland, the man who first infiltrated A.A. into the work of reclaiming men. The Akron, Ohio, member who styles himself "the first guinea pig in the A.A. operation" gave a much enjoyed talk. Cities represented from outside Cincinnati with its seven units were Hamilton, Springfield, Dayton, Columbus, Middletown, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Covington, Lexington and Frankfort. Plans are under way to make the dinner an annual affair. In Cincinnati at present the A.A. Group of Greater Cincinnati operates out of the Palace Hotel. The Cincinnati Fellowship Group occupies its handsome home at 405 Oak Street with a full nightly schedule of meetings and a secretary in daily attendance. The Freeman Group (Salvation Army) meets weekly at 1508 Freeman Avenue and the Covington, Ky., Group meets weekly in the Cathedral Lyceum in that city. Four suburban home-meeting groups are now operating and all things point toward a record year for A.A. in this locality. A Hallowe'en party staged at the clubhouse was heavily attended by members, their wives and children.
