Get it?
Got it?
Good!
Once, just once, you will be happy that you have 'experienced' Founders' Day.
It is a Hoot! It is a Holler! Because from Friday into Sunday, there is so very much going on it borders on being beyond Exhausting! These mere words don't do it 'justice'.
You know the local Akron, Ohio, business community (hotels, motels, restaurants etc et al) licks its chops and raises prices.
BUT do it once and decide for yourself!
We have been to Akron and visited the AA historical sites at least five separate times.

I feel fortunate to have been able to visit Dr. Bob's. Walking in the entryway where he placed the potted plant then passed out on the day before meeting Bill was awe-inspiring. Being in the kitchen where many cups of coffee were served during many important, life changing conversations was emotional. After 42 years, I am still immensely grateful for my sobriety. What if Dr. Bob hadn't met with Bill? Would Bill have been able to stay sober? Would we still have our program? I am so glad his wife forced him to go to the meeting. And very grateful the '15 minutes' turned into hours.
