We Hope You Like This Issue

Because it's Christmas--your magazine is doing a little splurging! This is the first time color has ever appeared between the Grapevine covers. We wish we could do it every month; that every issue could look like this. But, frankly, we can't afford it. At least, not yet! We think that AA should have just about the finest little magazine ever published--and someday we'll have it! All we need is about 10,000 more subscriptions. But for now, let's call this a preview of 'things to come'--and the best way your Grapevine staff could think of to say thanks to you loyal subscribers and group secretaries who have helped make 1950 the best year yet! So, from us Grapeviners, a Merry Christmas and a Happy 1951!
