A word about the 7th Tradition.... How far reaching the AA in Anthem AZ website actually is can be demonstrated by how many out of town requests for meeting info from visitors we get. I could show you, but you'd have to see our email, and I'm not going to do that, so take my word on it. Its not a ton, but the word is getting around, thanks to good Google search placement.
The point though, is that most of those stumbling into us are usually looking for ANTHEM meetings, not New River, not Tramonto, not Desert Hills, not Cave Creek / Carefree, etc. So - the meetings in ANTHEM get the "bonus" visitors made of these meeting googlers. So - since we get the "benefit" of these visitors (who are hopefully sticking a couple bucks in the basket) -- shouldn't we pay the lion's share of the cost of the website? Well the entire cost of the hosting package we have (a little over $100 for two years) has been paid by that Saturday Morning Men's meeting, and the "Into Action" group. Is this a plea for $$ from any group that is listed on the site? Hardly - but, if your group (by group conscience) decides / realizes that you are getting new people at your meeting due to being steered there by this site, at least drop us a line and let us know.... and you can chip in a couple bucks in a couple years when it is up for renewal.
