Stonestown Group Anniversary Party

One Week until PRAASA in San Francisco

The hotel room block may be filled, but there are still registrations available for the Pacific Region A.A. Service Assembly (PRAASA) on March 1 – 3 at the Marriott Marquis. Volunteer shifts are available as well! Visit praasa.org for more details.

Upcoming Central Office Closure

Mark your calendars and spread the word. Central Office will be closed on Friday, March 1 and Saturday, March 2 so that Intergroup can co-host a Pop-Up Bookstore with Oficina Central at PRAASA. Stop by and pick-up some service literature, foreign language titles by A.A.W.S., and Grapevine books.
