A.A.'s Country-wide News Circuit

Because Reno is a "24-hour town" the new club house on which members are working, will be open twenty-four hours a day if necessary. Members of this Nevada group will have the use of a library, card room, club room and coffee bar as counter attractions to other local activities. Starting with four members last May the membership grew to 19 in July with more than 80 now listed on the books although 44 per cent are transient. Some of these are new and some were members of other groups in New York, Utah, Arizona, California and Connecticut. Inquiries have been received not only from all parts of Nevada, but from Brooklyn, N. Y., Southern California and even Canada as a result of an advertisement in one of the Reno papers. Various members who travel all over the state and different parts of California visit any one in these vicinities wishing help and extend the usual invitation to any other A.A. members to drop in for a visit. Three new groups, and one day group are reported at Carson City, Nev., Sparks, Nev. and Herlong, Cal.
