A.A.GRAPEVINE LAUNCHES NEW DIGITAL ARCHIVE
The A.A. Grapevine, the international journal of Alcoholics Anonymous,launched its new Digital Archive on June 1 to coincide with the magazine's 60th anniversary. A.A. members and anyone interested in the Fellowship of A.A. can access almost every Grapevine article and letter ever published - all 12,000 of them - on subjects ranging from anonymity to spirituality and including 150 essays written by visionary A.A. co-founder Bill W.
With articles written by A.A. members between June 1944 to June 2003, the archive offers a vivid account of A.A. history in the making. Using keywords, visitors can search the archive by location, author, or subject to find the first version of the Traditions, to learn what A.A.s have said about such topics as sponsorship and self-support, and to explore how much - and how little - A.A. has changed.
To register, visitors can go to the Grapevine's website - www.aagrapevine.org - and select one of these options: 30-day access for all, $2; one-year access for non-Grapevine subscribers, $15; and one-year access for Grapevine subscribers, $10. Until Oct. 31, 2004, a special introductory rate is available to current and new subscribers - $5 for one year. Registration must be done online.
Notice to East End Groups in Suffolk
Recently
, several members of groups on the East End have contacted the Intergroup office to express their desire to initiate greater service activity on both Forks. Specific Interests include Institutions, public Information work, and cooperation with the professional community; and greater participation in Intergroup in general. In response, the Chairman asked the reps to consider moving one Intergroup meeting per quarter to Riverhead, the other two meeting per quarter would remain in Ronkonkoma. A motion was made and seconded to this effect.
The reps took the question back to their groups in July, and discussion begins this month. We encourage as many East End reps as possible to attend the August meeting and take part. The meeting is on the 10th at the Cleary School on Portion Road in Lake Ronkonkoma.
