Fairmont Hamilton Hosts AA Conference
Alcoholics Anonymous [AA] will be holding its annual Recovery on the Rock Convention this coming weekend at the Fairmont Hamilton Princess.
The theme of this year’s Convention, which is being held November 25 through 27, is “Willingness Is The Key”.
The event will feature guest AA and Al-Anon speakers from Virginia, Nevada and North Carolina as well as local speakers and panel sessions.
Events start on Friday at 6:45 p.m. with a panel discussion in the hotel’s Gazebo Room. The convention will continue with events throughout Saturday, including a banquet in the evening, and concludes at noon on Sunday.
Registration costs $35, and forms are available online at the AA Bermuda website. Tickets to the banquet night on Saturday cost $75 per person. Attendees can also register in person on Friday night. The registration desk will be open from 5:30 p.m.
The convention is open to members of AA, Al-Anon and Alateen, those involved in the recovery community, or anyone who may need help in dealing with a drinking problem, be it their own or someone else’s. Newcomers are especially welcome.
Those attending the Convention — especially non-AA or Al-Anon members — are requested to respect the programme’s tradition of anonymity and to not disclose the identity of anyone seen, or of anything heard, at the convention, for any reason, unless specific permission has been given.
Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.
The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for AA membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions.
AA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
AA has been established in Bermuda since 1945 and holds meetings seven days a week throughout the island. For more details, go to www.aa.bm or call AA’s 24-hour hotline on 297-0965.
