HISTORY OF A.A. IN THE VERDE VALLEY 

When did AA start in the Verde Valley?

1951 Cottonwood membership =6
Their name was the Verde Valley group.
They met from 1951 to 1967.
This group never registered with G.S.O. 
but made yearly contributions to G.S.O. and AZ Area.

In 1967 the group split into
two. 


What is the oldest group still going?

Ever here of the Sedona Roundup?
The roundup started in 1954-till 1984  30 years in Sedona then
in 1985 moved to Flagstaff for two reasons 

one: to accommodate the growing attendance and

the second reason. There is only one road going up to the Sedona Airport and with the growing numbers. People were parking there cars on that narrow road. If there was a fire not only would the fire trucks not make it up the road but also the people would be trapped up top.

Does anyone have any speaker tapes or cds from the Sedona Roundup?

In 2004 the Camp Verde Roundup started.
First 3 day Roundup since 1984.

In 2007 the Camp Verde Roundup changed
their name to the Verde Valley Roundup.
The Roundup did this in honor of the first AA group in the Valley 
and also to help unify AA.
