Raise the Bottom

ICYPAA, affectionately pronounced "icky-pa," stands for the International Conference of Young People in AA. Held in a different location each year, this year's conference (ICYPAA 48) will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana, on September 1-4, 2005. As explained by the ICYPAA fact sheet, the Conference meets once a year, providing "an opportunity for young AAs from all around the world to come together and share their experience, strength, and hope as young people in Alcoholics Anonymous."
