Hey, big time congrats on your first year, that's a huge accomplishment and you should be proud!

The club I attend my meetings at has dinners once a month for Birthday Night, BBQ's in the spring, holiday dinners, a New Years Eve party, and a whole bunch of other events. My kids had a blast at those things, and they got to know the children of my fellow AA'ers and made friends with them too.

We are not a glum lot, might as well share it with our kids, right?
