an^ policy:
Also

Corporation.
9.
Good personal leadership at All Conference levels is a Primary necessity,. In the
area of World Service, the General Service Board and its leaders must necessarily
replace the Founder of A.A. This is the most critical structural problem that
we still face,
10. Service authority should equal service responsibility. Executive authority should
always be single. "Double Headed Management" should be carefully avoided,

***************
A Concepts Luncheon, sponsored by the Area Assembly, will be held Sunday,
April 6, in the Golden Avenue School, Lemon Grove.
The Luncheon is scheduled for 12:30 Noon.
Clyde D,, first Southern California Convention Chairman, past delegate from
Southern California Area ano a long time student of the concepts, will be the speaker.
He is the author of the short form of the Concepts appearing in this issue.
Luncheon will be of the pot-luck variety with the Area Assembly providing
barbecue beef, coffee, dessert and other menu items. Members of the Area Assembly
will provide a wide variety of pot-luck dishes. There will be no charge, A kitty
will be available for those wanting to help defray expences. But no donation is
niecessary for those waating to hear about the Concepts and not with funds at present.
Those wondering why A.A. seems to rock along without too much conflict will
learn it is not by happenstance, that it is the result of intelligent planning and
the Concepts are one of the major contributing factors. One of our past Mew York
Trustees describes our late Co-founder, Pill Wilson, as "an organizational genius".
The Concepts are a product of his genius.
After understanding the Concepts one can be still more grateful that men of
such organizational genius and stature came along at the right time to devise a
way of life that saved ours.

BUSINESS committee report was given by chairman Joe W., who reported the financial

Desf^ie raised the question what the taxes consisted of that io shown on the financial

PROGRAM COMMITTEE report given by chairman A1 McG. All speakers confirmed for the

speaker for the following week. In regards to giving the tokens to out of town speakers
this will only be done if the speaker has not previously received one. To those that

PUBLIC INFORMATION COMMITTEE fep6?'t was given by Mickey W., who reported that due to

the job they all did while she was ill.
.^S/ERNMENTAL AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE chairman. Charlie T. checked with Central
Office, and as to date there has been no calls from the North County Hospitals in
regard to setting up a program.
.OLD BUSINESS: Mary Lee J., reported on our Spring dance, to be held April 12th, at

decorate and with the set up. Those interested please be at the Bldg. at 1:00 P.M.
We need donations of Cakes, Cookies, ect. Central Office has tickets for sale. Many

Harriet N. wished to correct Z* misstatements that were made at the March meet
ing. 1, The involving of an Audit service. 2. A law requiring the monthly audit of
a non-profit organization. The law requires a report and audit annually to protect
our non-profit statis. Harriet read part of the Plans of Procedure regarding any
expenditure that might involve reserve funds.
Joe W., chairman of the Business Committee also wanted to help set the records
straight. He did not make any such statement as to a law regarding a non-profit Or
ganization. Secondly the outside auditing service was voted on several years ago
and this committee is only following proceedures.
Dorothy H. stated the authority of Robert Rules of Order on Votes that are
Null and Void. The vote of this cootvifi last month, granting a 157o raise to the Office
Manager, which might involve the use of our reserve funds, is in conflict with our
Bylaws and therefore should be declared null and void. Dorothy made a motion that
the vote be declared null and void and the raise be suspended until such time as
the approval of the groups is obtained. Seconded by Harriet M. Vote was then taken
again by council.
Raise stands.
NEW BUSINESS: A female member was elected to the Program Committee. Nancy L from No. Co
Harriet N. said "The cost of the monthly bookkeeping service has arisen as
compared to the once a year audit by an outside firm which is required by our bylaw,
and which was the practice in the past years." Harriet M. made a motion that the
Business CommTttee obtain three estimates from outside firms for the Annual Audit
only, and provide this information at the next Coordinating Council meeting.
Dorothj? H.
seconded the motion.
Cal asked Harriet if she would amend her motion to say thit "The Business Committee
would research an alternate means of obtaining economical means of bookkeeping
service and report back to this council. Harriet agreed to accept Cal's amendment.
Joe Wc, Business Committee chairman would like what ever the council would like
the committee to do, put it in writing.
Pete M. objected to the use of the word auditing used, as it is a monthly account
ing service. The audit is something different. He works for this type of firm and
they charge a large fee for an annual Audit as it takes two to three weeks to-complete.

TRADITION SEVEN
*********
"Every A,A. group ought to be fully selfsupporting, declining outside contribtions."
Probably no A.A. tradition had the labor pains
this one did. In early times we were all broke.
When you add to tis the habitual supposition
that people ought to give money to alcoholics
trying to stay sober, it can be understood
why we thought we deserved a pile of folding
money. What great things A.A. would be able
to do with iti
yot/jPd/,
hai^e-fcc
Otfcin
But oddly enough, people who
had money thought otherwise.
They figured that
-sober- it was high time we now paid our own way
So our fellowship stayed poor because it had to.
h//u
A.A. went throught a growing period. Our re
actions to money prove this. As A.A. emerged
from its in-fancy into adolescence, we swung
from the idea we needed vast sums of money to
the notion th A.A. shouldn't have any.
Despite these misgivings, we had to re
cognize the fact that A.A. had to function.
Meeting places cost something. To save whole
areas from turmoil, small offices had to be
"Cartoon reproduced with the permission of
A.A. World Services, Inc.,"
set up, telephones installed, and a few full
time secretaries hired. Over many protest,
these thing were accomplished. We saw
that if they weren't, the man coming in the
door couldn't get a break.
A.A. presents a strange and refreshing
spectacle. It points out that the irre
sponsible had become responsible, and that
by making financial independence part of its
tradition, A.A. had revived an ideal that
its era had almost forgotten.
Even though there are no dues or fees for A.A.
membership, we come to realize that the
practical side of life involves a certain
fiscal responsibility. Usually those who are
able, soon start putting something in the
"hat" for the necessitijs of A.A. life for
example coffee, rent, utilities etc.

NOVEMBER:IS TRADITIONS MONTH
FOR MORE YEARS THAN MOST OF US HAVE BEEN SOBER, AA MEMBERS AND GROUPS HAVE OBSERVED
NOVEMBER AS "TRADITIONS MONTH". TODAY, MORE THAN EVER BEFORE, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT ALL
AA MEMBERS UNDERSTAND THE PRINCIPLES EXPRESSED IN OUR TWELVE TRADITIONS. THE INCREASING
PUBLIC CONCERN OVER ALCOHOLISM COMBINED WITH THE RECOGNIZED SUCCESS OF THE AA RECOVERY
PROGRAM, OFFERS MEMBERS WIDER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SERVICE.
AT THE SAME TIME, WE FACE
MORE TEMPTATIONS THAT CAN LEAD TO AA DISUNITY AND DISASTER.
AA"S CO FOUNDER, BILL W.,
PUT IT LIKE THIS: "WE ALCOHOLICS ARE THE BIGGEST RATIONALIZERS IN THE WORLD. FORTIFIED
WITH THE EXCUSE THAT WE ARE DOING GREAT THINGS FOR AA, WE CAN RESUME OUR OLD AND
DISASTROUS PURSUIT OF PERSONAL POWER, PRESTIGE, PUBLIC HONORS AND MONEY. "AT THE
SAME TIME, BILL FREQUENTLY POINTED OUT THAT AAs COULD PROPERLY USE THEIR INSIGHT AND
EXPERIENCE OUTSIDE OF AA IN THE FIELD OF ALCOHOLISM.
MANY GOOD AA MEMBERS DO JUST THAT.
THEY "WEAR TWO HATS", BUT CAREFULLY AVOIKD CAPITALIZING ON MISCONCEPTIONS OF AA TO
GAIN PERSONAL PROFITOR POSITION. THEY ARE ABLE TO WALK THIS DIFFICULT ROAD BECAUSE
THEY ARE AS FAMILIAR WITH AA TRADITIONS AS THEY ARE WITH THE PROCEDURES AND GOALS OF
THE AGENCY THAT EMPLOYS THEM.
OTHER, HOWEVER, VIOLATE AA TRADITIONS THROUGH IGNORANCE,
INDIFFERENCE OR AMBITION. INNOCENT OR NOT, SUCHVIOLATIONS OF PRINCIPLES WEAKEN PUBLIC
CONFIDENCE IN AA AND CREATE DISUNITY IN OUR FELLOWSHIP. DURING TRADITIONS MONTH WE MUST
REMIND OURSELVES THAT THE TRADITIONS APPLY TO EACH ONE OF US AS TO OUR PERSONAL GROWTH
AND TO OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS SOBER MEMBERS OF ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS.
(Via the Grapevine)
TRADITION ELEVEN
"OUR PUBLIC RELATION POLICY IS BASED ON ATTRACTION RATHER THAN PROMOTION;
WE NEED ALWAY MAINTAIN PERSONAL ANONYMITY AT THE LEVEL OF PRESS, RADIO, AND
FILMS."

"Even the words "stay sober"- let alone 1ive sober - offended
LIVING SOBER
many of us when we first heard such advice. Although we had done a lot of drinking, manfy
of us never felt drunk, and were sure we almost never appeared or sounded drunk
We knew
lots of people who drank more than we did
We were not like that.
HOWEVER, after we learned some of the facts about the illness called alcoholism,
our opinions shifted
Not drinking at all...becomes the basis of recovery from alcoholism....Living
sober turns out to be not at all grim, boring and uncomfortable, but rather something
we begin to enjoy and find much more exciting than our drinking days. We'll show you
how.
BILL W.
"The human drama that unfolds in these pages is memorable for
two reasons - one public and one private. It is the story of a man whose discovery
or vision, has changed the lives of a million people throughout the world (Aldous
Hunxley called him "the greatest social architect of ouf time.")
The story of
Bill W. is a stirring spiritual odyssey through triumph, failure and rebirth, with
vital meaning for men and women everywhere."

It's been a long time since I have written a letter to you. More years than I really
care to remember. I excelled at telling you all I wanted. I don't remember ever
asking what YOU wanted, whether it'd be too much trouble or whether you thought I
deserved anything. After all these years' that's why I'm writing this letter now
Santa. At last I have what I want for Christmas. I'M SOBER.
I don't go around telling everyone about it. I don't think some folks would care and
a lot more wouldn't get the drift. But you, Santa, I think you'd understand, and I
think you'd be glad that one who for so long was one of God's problem children has
found happiness. I joined A.A
There truly isn't anything else I want for
Christmas, except to keep sober and live this satisfying A.A.WAY
I can believe in you again, just as I can believe in the Holiday Season whose Patron
Saint you are. I can believe in and revere the Christ whose birthday this is, the God
as I understand him, who made mine a sober life at last.
Have a lot of fun Santa, take care of yourself, bring a lot of happiness and love to
