AA World Wide

AA WORKS IN ITS WONDERFUL, MYSTERIOUS WAY. . .General Service Headquarters recently received a worried letter written in French from Geneva, Switzerland. It concerned the suitability of a group permitting itself to be named the beneficiary in the will of one of its still active members. This communication was the first intimation GSH had had that there was a group in Geneva. The writer was advised of the Tradition on corporate poverty and welcomed into the world family of AA. They are now officially registered and the secretary writes, "The AAers in Genève, who now number thirty, are composed exclusively of workers. . . . We had a marvelous meeting on the 25th of Jan. Dr. E. M. Jellinek (ed. former director of the alcoholic division of World Health Organ.) was present, Harry Feldmann, celebrated alcoholic specialist in Switz. and Mr. Assimacopoulo whose family started the A.A. movement in Switz. in Genève in May 1956, in their home."
