AA Roundups or Conventions:
Why do I have to Pay?

While there are no dues or fees for membership in AA, there are many Conferences and Roundups all around the world and the most common misconception of these gatherings are that they are AA meetings, and “there are no dues and fees for AA membership.”

However, Roundups and Conferences are special events, not regular AA meetings.

These events requires months of planning, preparation and money to present.

We have to purchase coffee, cups, sugar, creamer, plates, plastic ware, and Rent Port-a-Poties, Tables, chairs. Other expenses include travel and lodging for speakers, printing cost, postage and supplies.  
 

The events are paid for through the cost of the registration.  
 

No baskets are passed!

As responsible AA members

“WE PAY OUR OWN WAY”
