          Yes, they’re using publication date as part of the link name, so it gets out of date completely. Please go to https://aaithaca.org/ and follow the menus.

          I am the delegate from the Bard College Serenity Sunday meeting. I wil be attending this year’s conference in Hershey, PA. (I believe that is the location). I was told at last year’s conference that there are grants available for delegates needing help for hotel and/or transportation. If you could tell me how to go about applying for such a grant, I would be grateful. Thank you.

    Hi Nicole,

    There won’t be an Assembly on the second Sunday. Instead there’s the Day of Sharing on the second Saturday, May 14.
    At this time I don’t know what the Zoom link will be. I will post it here as soon as I find out.
    Thanks for nudging us!

    I am a newbie. I have attended in support of others, as well as Al-Anon for myself. I’m scared to show up alone but my health is at risk. Are there any beginners meetings near Liverpool/Salina/Clay- for beginners that are scared to death but NEED this more than anything?

AA Preamble/Definition

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for AA Membership, we are self-supporting through our own contributions. AA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization, or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
