Faithful Fivers!
What are Faithful Fivers? They are AA members who pledge at least $5.00 each
month toward the support of their local Central Office, to help “carry the message”. This idea is catching on around the country.
In "Just For Today", a story noted that “the plan came about when we remembered
that many of us had spent far more than $5.00 on alcohol during our drinking
days.” Um...no kidding ;) Please share this idea in your Home Groups and among your
friends. Each month we will list those who have joined. This column is just to
introduce you to the idea, and promote interest in supporting your BCR-CO. Thank
you!
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 to
engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our
primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve
sobriety. National AA Website:
