A.A.'s Country-wide News Circuit

Recently about 30 Seattle, Wash., A.A.s made a trip to Olympia to get a group with eight members started and later another Seattle contingent of the same size took a trip to Cle Elum and Roslyn to start new groups there. Good growth is expected for these. There have also been several trips to Bremerton and other smaller groups by Seattle members. As an innovation at one of the regular open meetings held each Friday in the Chamber of Commerce auditorium the meeting was put on by the Toastmasters group, numbering 30 A.A.s. Twelve men spoke for five minutes each, giving their interpretations of Steps of the A.A. program. It was felt that the idea was tremendously effective and has been hailed as putting the program out where the people needing help can get it.
