MBAR Activities

More Fellowship

What better way to care for one another than to get to know one another.

"Though they knew they must help other alcoholics if they would remain sober, that motive became secondary. It was transcended by the happiness they found in giving themselves for others." - Alcoholics Anonymous p132

Conference Activities in Detail

Guest Speakers and Panel Sessions

At the main speaker meetings, our Speakers are sharing their experience, strength and hope with us. "Showing others who suffer how we were given help is the very thing which makes life seem so worth while to us now. Cling to the thought that, in God's hands, the dark past is the greatest possession you have - the key to life and happiness for others."

Alcoholics Anonymous p124

Masquerade Dance

After the Main Speaker Meeting on Saturday night, join us for some fun and fellowship. Dance the night away at our Masquerade - Masks provided. After all, "We aren't a glum lot. If newcomers could see no joy or fun in our existence, they wouldn't want it. We absolutely insist on enjoying life."

Our Statement of Responsibility

I am responsible.

When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, I want the hand of A.A. always to be there.

And for that I am responsible.
