Your experience and proficiency in these fields, as well as any other relevant skills you may have, will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our service manual.

Your participation will ensure that we create a comprehensive and effective General Service Manual that serves the needs of our fellowship for years to come.

Hi Folks,

Here is the latest AA Around Australia. I hope you enjoy it! AA’s 80th Anniversary is now just around the corner, how is your Group, or District or Area going to celebrate this milestone event.

Let’s make a noise to make sure that everyone notices that AA has been around for eight decades in Australia – From Pioneers to 80 years!

Our front page story gives a bit of history about how AA started in Australia. There’s a mention of an article by the Sunday Telegraph reporter Don Whitington who attended a meeting in November of 1946. 

We’re lucky enough to have a copy of that article and it’s an added Bonus to this edition of AA Around Australia.

As always, please forward this email to all your AA friends and encourage them to sign up for a free subscription https://aa.org.au/category/aa-around-australia/
