Gopher State Roundup
An occasion to share the fellowship and to carry the message of AA; with Al-Anon and Alateen participation
Alcoholics Anonymous
Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.
The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
Why Do I Have to Pay?
A common misconception regarding AA conferences and conventions is that they are regular AA meetings.
While parts of this conference have a similar format to regular AA meetings, Gopher State Roundup is not a regular meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous.
- Gopher State Roundup is a special AA event with Al-Anon participation.
- Gopher State Roundup is self-supporting; no contributions from AA groups are used to pay for this event.
- Expenses such as hotel fees, travel and lodging for the speakers, and printed material are paid through registration fees.
- No baskets are passed during this event. As stated in our Seventh Tradition, “We are fully self-supporting thru our own contributions”.
