7th Tradition
A.A.’s Seventh Tradition states: “Every A.A. group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.” This means that only A.A. members contribute financially to A.A. – and even A.A. members are limited in the amount they can contribute. This keeps A.A. free of outside influences that might divert us from our primary purpose — to help the alcoholic who still suffers. The amount of the contribution is secondary to the spiritual connection that unites all groups around the world.
Our 7th Traditions contributions go towards our Zoom hosting fees and our AA Grapevine subscriptions. Any balance accumulated beyond a $50 prudent reserve will be distributed to:
**Louisville Inner Group *District 22 Area 26 * General Service Office
Kentucky Night Owls contributions can be made to the following:
"What you see here, What you hear here, When you leave here, Let it stay here"
