Box 459, G.S.O. Newsletter, Winter 2020
For those of you who aren’t familiar, Box 459 is the quarterly newsletter published by General Service (G.S.O.). Their current issue for Winter 2020 (download) opens with a story that highlights the history and evolution of the ICOAA Seminar (Intergroup/Central Office/A.A. World Services), whose stated purpose is, “to provide a forum, through workshops, discussions, and the exchange of ideas and shared experience, for those who labor on A.A.’s front lines,” at both the local and global levels. The 35th annual ICOAA seminar was virtual this year, which enabled over 200 attendees to be able to attend! Be sure to check out excerpts from our very own Maury P. and Alan G., along with numerous others representing Intergroups from all over!
And that’s not all; there are a number of other interesting articles included so be sure to download the Winter 2020 issue here.
