10th of June Founder’s Day Tradition One

The 7th tradition at this meeting will go to the International Literature and sponsorship fund the brown paper bag. Our experiences taught us tradition one long form each member of Alcoholics Anonymous is, but a small part of a great hole AA must continue to live or most of us will surely die hence our common welfare comes first but individual welfare follows close afterwards.

 17th of June Tradition Two

The 7th tradition for this meeting will go to the International Literature Fund and the brown paper bag. Tradition two long form for our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority a loving God as he may express himself in our group conscience.

 24th of June Tradition Three

Tradition 3 long form our membership ought to include all who suffer from alcoholism hence we may refuse none. Who wish to recover, nor ought AA membership ever depend upon money or conformity any two or three alcoholics gathered together for sobriety may call themselves an AA group. Provided that as a group they have no other affiliation.
