who is reborn. Thanks for the light of the present —

May the grace of light fill each day of the coming year.

Around the world, many recognize this time of year as
a season of giving. For those of us fortunate enough
to have been guided to Alcoholics Anonymous, our season
of giving is all year round. Every twenty-four hours
invites us to pass on to others what was so freely given
to us, and to rejoice in the gift of our sobriety. May
the New Year bring you many opportunities to give and
receive through the Fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous.

During this Holiday Season, as we reflect on a year
of change and challenges, we ar filled with gratitude
for what we know is our greatest gift—sobriety.
We fing great joy in knowing that sobriety is as gift
of continuous giving that we share, though sponsorship,
service to the Fellowship, and reaching out to the man
or woman who has not yet heard A.A.'s message of hope.
Everyone at G.S.O. sends their warmest wishes for the
Holiday Season and for the New Year.

A.A.'s 75th Birthday Celebration - Under the theme “A
Vision For You,” over 53,000 A.A. members and
friends gathered together in San Antonio, July 1-4,
to celebrate A.A.’s 75th Anniversary. This was
the largest group San Antonio, a frequent convention
city, had ever seen, and shop owners, cab drivers, hotel
personnel and average citizens were quick to comment
on the joyful, orderly, well-behaved group of sober
drunks who had taken over their city.
