The Central Office Mission Statement

The Central Office of Northern Kentucky, in partnership among A.A. groups in the community, has as it’s primary purpose: To assist these groups in their common purpose of carrying the A.A. message to the alcoholic who still suffers.

As a means toward accomplishing this end we receive, distribute, and follow-up on 12 step calls, answer inquiries about A.A. and cooperate with local public information committees. The Central Office also maintains information about local hospitals and recovery facilities for alcoholics. We make available local A.A. meeting directories and a newsletter. We also order, sell and distribute A.A. literature.

What does Central Office do?

Faithful Fivers

What is a ‘faithful fiver?”

A Faithful Fiver is a member of Alcoholics Anonymous who voluntarily participates to contribute a minimum of $5 each month toward the support of their Central Office, assisting its efforts of carrying the message.

The idea of Faithful Fivers is based on the fact that many of us wasted many times this amount of money each month during our drinking careers.

It is the Faithful Fivers that can assist in getting the Central Office of Northern Kentucky over the hump each month instead of wondering how we are going to meet our financial obligations. The contributions are also tax deductible.

AA History

1951

A.A.’s first General Service Conference

The first General Service Conference, orchestrated by chairman of the Alcoholic Foundation Bernard Smith, is held in April 1951 at the Commodore Hotel in New York. Bill W. later writes of its significance to A.A.: “The delegates . . . listened to reports from the Board of Trustees and from all of the services. There was warm but cordial debate on many questions of A.A. policy... [It was proved] as never before that A.A.’s Tradition Two was correct: Our group conscience could safely act as the sole authority and sure guide for Alcoholics Anonymous.”
