A. A.'s Country-wide News Circuit

A two-page history of A. A. in Saginaw, Mich., written by Bill M. for the second anniversary, tells of growth from 12 to 60 members. The start came when an A. A. came to town after affiliation in Des Moines and Omaha and met a Saginaw member who had been attending Bay City meetings. They found two more and started home meetings, put an ad in the paper and continued to grow until they moved to the Y.M.C.A. About a year ago the group blossomed out in the present quarters at the Metropolitan Club with open meetings, continuing closed sessions at the "Y". A coming-out party, active support by The Saginaw News and townspeople aided in further growth with the renting of clubrooms at Genesee and Washington while retaining the Metropolitan headquarters. The group finally has ended up with the Metropolitan Club as the permanent headquarters.
