Program — 25th Anniversary International Convention of Alcoholics Anonymous Long Beach, California · July 1–3, 1960

Original program booklet from Alcoholics Anonymous’ 25th Anniversary International Convention, held in Long Beach, California, over the Fourth of July weekend in 1960.

The program provides a detailed schedule of meetings, workshops, presentations, Al-Anon sessions, Alkathons, and major convention events. Among the names appearing throughout are Bill W., Lois W., Dr. Harry Tiebout, Dr. John Norris, and many other important figures from early A.A., Al-Anon, medicine, service, and public relations.

One of the highlights is the Saturday evening general session, “A.A. Today & Tomorrow,” featuring Lois W. and Bill W. The booklet also documents presentations on A.A. around the world, medicine, prisons, industry, General Service, and the growing international fellowship.

A wonderful original piece of A.A. convention history and an appealing addition to a collection of early Alcoholics Anonymous ephemera.
