General Service Headquarters

Small office--Big job! <lbfrom Australia to Aroostook County

Last year these two receptionists at your General Service Office rolled out the red carpet of welcome to over 1500 visitors from all over the world. Company is always welcome in your Headquarters located at 141 East 44th Street, New York City, but the main job of the staff of 19 people is to "carry the message to other alcoholics."
