DEAR GRAPEVINE

Recently our DCM reported that prices for AA literature had gone up. The reason: Group contributions to the GSO have fallen off with increasing numbers of groups not contributing at all. He also mentioned that our group, Tri-Lakes Group in Branson West, Mo., had contributed over $1,300 to the GSO in 2008. This is pretty amazing, given that we are a relatively small group of about 25 home group members.
