Someone has suggested that we work out a list
giving the town or city in which the first AA
group was formed in each of the 50 US states
and 10 Canadian provinces, and also (where
possible) the month, day, and year the group
was started.

This will be used as part of the celebration
of AA's 75th anniversary next year.

I'll start it off by giving the information
on my home state of Indiana, plus the date
of Dr. Bob's last drink in Akron, Ohio.

It would be appreciated if someone from each
state and province could write in and give us
the relevant information for where they live.

Thanks!
