I was curious to see how your home group does Chips and celebrates AA Anniversaries/Birthdays.

This is my 3rd Home Group..and each do/did differently.

In Washington D.C. on the Sat. following your 1st year you spoke from the podium for 15 minutes. The cake and medallion was furnished by the Alano Club.

In Pensacola Fl. they had poker chips for 30 days..6 months and a 1 yr medalllion. Club furnished all including a cake for each month. Last Sat. of the month celebration time each one said a few words as they received a chip.

Here in Dallas Ga. we offer chips every meeting. We use a a

24 Hour... then 30 days... 3 and 6 and 9 months....1 year.

We celebrate tge last Fri. with a guest speaker. Our group furnishes a cake + medallions with your date and 'user" name

for years sober.

So Cathy31...I gotta say AA is the same vut different!!
