A.A.'s Country-wide News Circuit

A series of advertisements run in Winona, Minn., papers have brought many inquiries, some for the local Group and others for information in other places. The Winona Republican-Herald carried a good account of the open meeting at the Senior high school auditorium on October 20 where A.A.s, as well as local physicians, clergy, judges and others, spoke. There was much favorable publicity on the radio as well as in the press. The Winona Group held its final picnic recently in the form of a birthday celebration for three members, one having two years' sobriety and the others one year each. Attendance was about 50 with representatives of one family each from Dubuque, Ia., and Rochester, Minn.
