AA Conventions:
Why do I have to Pay?
While there are no dues or fees for membership
in AA, there are many conferences 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, Conventions and
Conferences are special events, not regular AA meetings.
This Convention requires months of planning, preparation and money to
present. Since all of the events are held at the Riverside Resort, there is
a charge to the Committee for the use of these facilities. Other expenses
include travel and lodging for speakers, printing cost, postage and
supplies. The event is paid for through the cost of the registration. As
responsible AA members “WE PAY OUR OWN WAY.”

The River Roundup subcommittee of the River Cities Central Office produces the
annual River Roundup AA convention. River Roundup subcommittee
meetings are held monthly on the first Tuesday of each month at 6:30PM
in the Central Office at 603 Marina Blvd., Bullhead City, Arizona.
