Dick B. discusses the International AA History Conference

The First International Alcoholics Anonymous History Conference is growing in participants, topics, and scope each day. The conference itself will be held September 6-7, 2013, at The First Baptist Church of Portland, Maine, 360 Canco Road, Portland, Maine. There will be many events before, during, and after the conference proper. These include roundtable discussions, speakers, special presentations, special meeting places, and a possible side trip on September 8-10 to St. Johnsbury, Vermont, where Dr. Bob was born and received his "excellent training" in the Good Book as a youngster in St. Johnsbury. Another special event will be a speaker-discussion meeting of the Free At Last A.A. group on Wednesday, September 11, with a potluck dinner beginning at 5:30 p.m., and with the A.A. meeting beginning at 7:00 p.m., and featuring Dick B. and Ken B. as guest speakers. And now we will tell you of the enormous growth in planning and activities that has taken place--three months before the scheduled conference period, September 5-12, 2013.
