I'm just going to test this. Can you hear all right everywhere in the room? No. I'm good. Okay, good. Hi, everybody. My name's Sandy, and I'm an alcoholic, and I'm delighted to be part of this, helping out our inner group. When you think about it, that's really the most important office that the local AA has, because that's where the phone calls come in, that's where our meeting list gets printed, that's where you can go and get literature and get the medallions, and, you know, it's sort of the lifeblood of our local AA, and we really ought to take good care of it.

So when you think about, has AA grown since then, it's just, you know, now it's a phone book. Big cities, you open a directory, and it takes forever to go through the whole thing. So something is indeed working well in AA's favor. One is pretty much the program has been preserved in its original form, in spite of the tendency of the human race to want to modernize things and change what has been done traditionally, even though the…
