The Need for a Newsletter

First Editorial October 1942 (Vol 1, No. 1)

For some time it has been the conviction of several A.A. members as the result of the expansion of our fellowship in Cuyahoga County, that some means of wider communication of our activities to our members is needed.
To that end, the efforts of this bulletin will be dedicated.

Many of our members are leaving the city to take jobs elsewhere and many are going into the armed services. To these members, we think we can fill a definite need. We shall strive to maintain an interesting and lively contact between these absent members and us at home. Letters from men in the services all beg for news of happenings within the various groups. We hope to meet this plea.

We hope, through this bulletin, to bring you news of general interest to A.A. members, such as notices of parties, anniversaries, picnics, special meetings, activities of the various committees, formation of new groups, and other work of the organization in Cleveland.

News items will be welcome from members of all groups, on questions relating to improvement of the A.A. technique. Someone may be able to suggest a better hospitalization plan, a better way to approach a prospect, or some other improvement.

We expect to include in this bulletin suggestions for reading, prayers, discourses on various phases of re-education under the A.A. program.We shall remember A.A.’s second A. No member’s name will be used in this publication without his unqualified consent. Nothing will be published that will be embarrassing to any member. We shall operate always in a spirit of Love and Unselfishness.

The chief justification for this bulletin will be to further the work of A.A.
