A. A.'s Country-wide News Circuit

Police and firemen were needed to turn away over 300 while 700 enthusiastic A.A.s and friends crowded into Brown Hall in Boston recently when the Central Service Committee there sponsored the largest meeting ever held in the area. M.M. of New York was the speaker. She also addressed the New England Hospital Association and the National Committee for Education on Alcoholism as well as a local professional group and several citizens' groups. Newspapers gave A.A. a great deal of fine publicity as the result of these efforts. The report from Boston says there are now more groups functioning under the Boston Central Service Committee than there were members in the Boston Group in March, 1942.
