A special sharing session will take place on Sunday, April 7 @ 9am on the topic of “How Should We Treat A.A. Founders’ Writings.” Are Bill’s writings historical texts that should remain untouched or are they basic texts that should be updated to be as widely accessible as possible in today’s world? Share what you and your group thinks at the CNCA 06 (California Northern Coastal Area 06 of Alcoholics Anonymous) Pre-Conference Assembly.
