We will be listening to a powerful audio presentation by Paul Fischer who has facilitated a series of Back to Basics meetings.
Back to Basics sessions have been held continuously on the west side of Cleveland, every quarter, since January 2008. Quarterly sessions are held in January, April, July and October of each year, usually beginning on the first Thursday of each month and continuing the following 3 Thursdays.

Corrections Committee Meeting
Starting at 6:00 pm
You’re invited to attend the monthly Corrections Committee business meetings, held at the AA Cleveland District Office the third Monday of every month (fourth Monday if the third is a holiday). Anyone may attend; sheets will not be signed as this is not an A.A. meeting.
If you wish to help bring the AA program of recovery to the incarcerated, join us at the Corrections Committee Meeting. It has been estimated that 80% of all incarcerated are there as a result of alcohol and drugs.
For questions, please contact the Cleveland District Office at (216) 241-7387 and your information will be forwarded to the Volunteer Chairperson.
Cooperation with the Professional Community (CPC)
Starting at 6:30 pm
Members of C.P.C. committees inform professionals and future professionals about A.A.— what we are, where we are, what we can do, and what we cannot do. They attempt to establish better communication between A.A.s and professionals, and to find simple, effective ways of cooperating without affiliating. — Reprinted from www.aa.org, with permission of A.A. World Services, Inc.
The purpose of our committee is to provide information on A.A. to professionals who may come in contact with the still suffering alcoholic.
A.A. is considered by many professionals to be a valuable resource for alcoholics who want help. When there is a good working relationship between A.A. members in the community and professionals who come in contact with alcoholics, the afflicted alcoholic is the winner he or she gets the help needed from both.
We are not in competition with these professionals; we have our separate functions. A.A. is not in the business of education, research, medicine, counseling, treatment, prevention, or funding. We simply have a message to carry about a program of recovery for alcoholics.
Anyone interested in joining this service committee is welcome to join us!
This we owe to A.A.’s future; to place our common welfare first; to keep our Fellowship united.

45th Annual Old Timers Meeting
2023-11-10 08:00 - 17:00 | North Chevy Chase Christian Church, 8814 Kensington Pkwy, Chevy Chase, MD, 20815, United States
WAIA Presents the 45th Annual Old Timers Meeting to Benefit the Hospitals and Institutions Committee (H&I)
The Old Timers meeting was started 45 years ago to celebrate those “Oldtimers”, who have over 20 years sobriety to get up on stage and share their experience, strength and hope for a few minutes. As time has gone on, the number of years of sobriety to get up on stage has risen. Come fellowship and hear what these AA members have done to stay sober over the years. Bring a Newcomer, as we will do a sobriety countdown. Throughout the evening there will be raffles, fellowship and plenty of laughs and wisdom.
The event is a fundraiser for the H & I Committee which provides literature for the institutions we serve. The basket will be passed but you can also contribute with Venmo (@WAIADC) or go to aa-dc.org/give to give with debit or credit card. Please note “oldtimers” in the notes or comment section.

District 43 GSR Meeting
2023-10-28 18:00 - 19:00 | Grace Episcopal Church, 36200 Ridge Rd, Willoughby, OH, 44094, United States
Please join us in service. If you have a home group, ask the Secretary, Treasure or Chairperson do we have a GSR. (What is a GSR you ask?) A GSR is your meeting’s General Service Representative.
This is the person that makes sure you have a voice. This person gathers information on local and national levels of Alcoholics Anonymous, brings it back to your home group. When AA is asked to consider things for or about the fellowship a collective conscious is needed. The Home group votes, the GSR and DCM attend meetings and assemblies. From the assemblies a delegate is elected…
If you want to know more and your home group is in District 43, come join us and find out so much more. This stuff is all about service and extending the hand to the next person.
