Central Bulletin 75th Anniversary Celebration
2017-10-25 20:00 - 21:00 | A.A. Cleveland District Office, 1557 St Clair Ave, NE, Cleveland, OH, 44114, United States
Come celebrate with us the 75th Anniversary of the Central bulletin, the oldest AA newsletter, after the Wednesday, October 25th Advisory Committee meeting.
By October 1942 the United States had been an active participant in World War II for ten months. Many members around Cleveland, Ohio had volunteered or been inducted for service and were moved to training camps for eventual warfare overseas. Three years prior to this time the Cleveland groups had formed a service committee, the first Intergroup per se, named the Central Committee. How might we stay in touch with these members around the world? The Committee chose a newsletter, working title the Central Bulletin.

What is an Advisory Committee?
The Advisory Committee serves to make recommendations and/or provide key information to the Operating Committee (i.e. board of directors). It can also provide staff with a fresh perspective on programmatic issues and can be a tremendous complement to the effectiveness of the Operating Committee as it works to carry out its initiatives.
For example: the Advisory Committee can help create policies which provide direction and support for the office staff.
Please elect an Advisory Committee Representative from your Group to attend. A representative must have at least three years of continuous sobriety.
