ALA-TWENTY'S PROGRAM This is a part of the program that was added several years ago as a direct result of long time IDAA participants who have moved through the Teen years and wanted a program structured to their desires. They have developed a very interesting series of meetings. The LAC has worked hard at meeting most of their request, after much debate however; we did decide not to furnish a butler for their room. We were reassured that the Ala-Twenty planning committee would under stand. If this is what we turned down, you have to come for no other reason than to find out what the LAC accepted. CONTINUING EDUCATION To be announced... LUNCHEONS AND BANQUETS A favorite part of the annual IDAA conventions is the fellowship at the luncheons and banquets. Wednesday evening there will be a welcome reception with hors d'oeuvres and conversation. Thursday evening is the newcomers Banquet. This is a wonderful experience for all the newcomers to be able to experience just how important they are. Friday noon - The Al-Anon luncheon is an opportunity for all to hear current happenings with those in the Al-Anon program. Also it's an excellent chance to hear a peer selected speaker from the Teen program. Saturday evening will be the formal banquet. This is a very happy and spiritual time for all as many will be recognized for their service. Formal attire is most common for this affair. You'll be welcome regardless.
