More about A.A.: Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help other to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for AA 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 or 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 to help other alcoholics achieve sobriety.
COVID-19 SUGGESTIONS
We suggest that our members do not hold
hands during the closing prayer, maintain adequate spacing regarding
where you sit in a meeting (folding chairs are in the back of the
room) and consider washing hands before and after the meeting
(bathrooms are down the hall, near the main entrance on floor two).
In addition, we have supplied a bottle of antiseptic near the coffee
machine and propose that we continue to wipe down the door knob and
other surfaces before and after meetings. If you feel ill, we
suggest that you consider attending online meetings in order to
reduce the
