Around AA - Items of AA Information and Experience

M. R., of Cordell, Okla., writes: "For the past three or four years now, I have had a growing feeling that the AA Birthday Plan isn't being used nearly as much as it would be if more of our members knew of its existence. Frankly, I find that even in Oklahoma, where the plan was born, today very few of our people know of its existence, and a thorough explanation of the plan is not given to many of our newer members. To me, this seems most unfortunate, because lack of knowledge about this plan will keep many new members from ever knowing the feeling of satisfaction which comes from using it. There is real joy in earning the privilege of contributing to the work of the Fellowship."
