Around AA

Celebrating the theme of "Pass It On--Our Three Legacies," the Forty-fifth General Service Conference of Alcoholics Anonymous convened on Sunday, April 30 at the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza in New York City. The Conference meets once a year to address matters of concern to the Fellowship at large, its purpose being--as Bill W. put it--to ensure "the permanence and well-being of AA itself." Because of the Conference, Bill said, Alcoholics Anonymous would be "safe from any storm the future might bring."
