Going to San Antonio with Alex A.

Getting ready for my trip to San Antonio, I just got into my office to check on a couple things and to get the weather updates. Looks like chances of thunderstorms the whole weekend

Not exactly the way I’d envisioned our International Convention, but we’ll see.

The International Convention started out in 1950 in Cleveland Ohio and was the scene of Dr. Bobs last talk. Major historic events occured regularly at the International in most of the subsequent events. 1955 AA was handed over to the fellowship and the General Service Conference was made an official part of Alcoholics Anonymous. As time has passed, the occurence of historical events has seemingly given way towards a celebration of AA History and a direction of what our purpose is in today’s world at each International Convention.

For months, I’ve wondered “what will we learn this time?” What opportunities will exist, what is the message that will come from the podium?

We’ll see, in short order. “We shall be with you in the Fellowship of the Spirit, and you will surely meet some of us as you trudge the Road of Happy Destiny.” (Alcoholics Anonymous pg 164, reprinted with permission) I hope to see you as you trudge the road to San Antonio!

God Bless!
