I just saw a flyer for an AA group's anniversary celebration. They had a picture of a guy ( the group Guru) with a bio of his work ( books written, movie star, crap like that...). They were announcing that he was speaking at this meeting and that all should attend. I have been against flyers even announcing speakers by first name and last initial only but recognize that groups do it. I wish I would have saved the flyer so I could scan it and post it here so you could see what I am talking about. This looked like an advertisement. I then thought about what would happen if this was left lying around. This would become a breach of anonymity. It had this guys email address on it. I have heard him speak before and all I can say is eww. I was wondering if any of you ever saw this sort of thing. Am I wrong? Is this OK? I understand that we don't need to be anonymous in AA but is this too far? This looked just like an advertisement for a book signing. I haven't even seen anything this sick on the west coast( not implying that West Coast AA is sicker than it is anywhere else, but c'mon, you have more people per capita. And I have been to the Pacific Club, if AA could have a Vatican it would be there. Except I would get excomunicated because I am no fan of Clancy!)
