Most associations like to take time out now and then to observe some phase of their development. Holding a convention is a natural thing to do. In A.A., such an event is far more than a routine cause for celebration. A convention also sets up a useful opportunity to share the A.A. experience in a broader way. It’s a common misconception that conventions are regular A.A. meetings. “There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership...” therefore, some feel there should be no fees to attend. Conventions are special events, not regular meetings. A large conference requires a substantial amount of planning, preparation and expense.

March Round Up Conventions are held in hotels, and there is a charge for the use of their facilities. Costs include travel and lodging for speakers, coffee, printing, and postage to name a few.

The March Round Up Convention is self supporting. Costs of the event are paid by registration fees. No baskets are passed. Cost is nominal compared to a weekend’s entertainment elsewhere.

Our goal is to break even financially. Attendance is voluntary. As responsible A.A. Members, we pay our own way.

HOSTED BY AREA 33

Hospitality rooms offer coffee and snacks for all attendees. These rooms are funded solely by contributions from members like you.

Coffee must be purchased from the hotel for the over 2400 members, friends and family who are planning to come. Even if you can’t attend - a small donations might help someone participating in the conference get sober. It’s an easy way to practice the 12th step.

We need help from groups and individual members to defray these costs. Please help out if possible, so that everyone may enjoy coffee and the hospitality rooms at the 2015 March Roundup.
