From the Grass Roots

TRAVELING THROUGHOUT THE NORTHWEST and in constant touch with the AA groups in my territory, it has so often come to my attention that many have experienced considerable disappointment from having little or no results at open meetings when they specifically invite outsiders who should be vitally interested in the AA program. I'm speaking of those meetings where they hope the medical profession, the clergymen, the legal profession, the law enforcement officials, etc., would attend. The number who attend from these fields is almost invariably a disappointment.
