A.A.'s Country-wide News Circuit

Growth Keeps Pace

As the population of Houston, Texas, continues to expand, so too, do the A.A. activities there. Group No. 2 was formed less than five months ago, with an initial membership of 17, which has now grown to 47 active participants. Meetings are held twice weekly in the Parish house of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, and the rent for the hall is donated to the alcoholic ward of St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital which will be part of the medical center to be constructed in Houston. Among the speakers at the open Monday night meetings have been prominent physicians, judges and others. The closed sessions on Thursday are given over to round-table discussions of the 12 Steps. Sometimes the discussions follow the form of the "Information, Please" radio program, with four of the older members answering questions submitted by others as to their interpretations of the A.A. program. Saturday evening parties in members' homes have helped members of the group to become better acquainted.
