Around AA - Items of AA Information and Experience

The pay-as-you-go system of ordering Grapevines, which comes to an end on December 31, was designed for the AA groups of more than 30 years ago. In the young Fellowship, group treasuries were meager or nonexistent. So a group would order as many Grapevines as it expected to sell; the magazines would be sent along with a bill; and the group would pay the bill from the proceeds of the sales.
