Two Interesting New Groups

MANY of you regular A.A. Grapevine readers probably remember the articles, "A Loner at Sea," which appeared in the September and October 1948 issues of your magazine. Through these articles, the personal letters of the "Loner" and suggestions and help from the General Service Headquarters, what is known as the Far East Internationalist Group has been organized. It is made up of men sailing the seas and some stationed in the Far East and is conducted almost entirely by mail, except when chance or coinciding sailing schedules bring the members into personal contact. These men are far from home and mail means a lot, so anyone who cares to write may address letters to The Far East International Group, General Service Headquarters, P.O. Box 459, Grand Central Annex, New York 17, N.Y. They will be forwarded to the members.
