A.A.'s Country-wide News Circuit

Tampa, Fla., A.A.s are justly proud of the new club house into which they moved recently. Located at 405 Tyler Street, it is a two-story former residence, which is being completely renovated inside and out and rearranged to provide with its 12 rooms, a lounge, assembly hall, buffet and kitchen, quarters for the resident secretary, office and study room and a game room. Financing was made possible by a building committee, open to any members of Tampa Groups who wish to make a small monthly contribution in addition to their regular ones. The new building is the central headquarters for all groups. Tampa A.A.s are about ready for the third annual banquet scheduled for Sunday, January 26. Out of town guest speakers will be on the program. The Tampa Groups also enjoyed a visit from S. R., formerly of Alaska, who visited her mother here, and gave several talks during her stay. . . In Rochester, N. Y., the Central Groups announce a move to larger quarters in the downtown district, with room for 300 people. Meetings are held every night in the week at 8:30, with a Monday morning group for shift workers. The new Monday night group, recently formed, had the first meeting, with attention concentrated on men under 35 years and ex-G.I.s. The new address is 12 Andrews Street.
