Service

From the Archives . . .
“I want the hand of A.A. to be there. . .” The Bel Air Noon meetings probably moved to the Mann House in 2002. Their simple record of commitment to the Responsibility Statement read . . .“Michael B. started those meetings and passed them on to Clarence E. about 2002. In 2011 Clarence passed them on to John C.” (Anon., nd.d.) [FYI, the Responsibility Statement was written for the 1965 Toronto international convention by Trustee Al S., first appearing in Box 4-5-9… Responsibility Statement.
