From the Archives . . .
Aberdeen Monday Night Group was founded c1983. According to one document it was founded as a “discussion meeting - helping A.A.s new and old to a new way of life and maintaining that life.” It was one of the groups which provided Fr. Martin’s Ashley residents a place to experience real A.A. The Archives Committee is looking for stories . . . contact Mark at archives@nemdaa.org.
