Ladies and Gentlemen:

Circulation of the AA Grapevine, our meeting in print, is declining. The Grapevine Board is taking steps to develop a Strategic Business Plan to confront the reality of this declining and aging readership and to embrace emerging new technology. As Dorothy H., Class B Trustee and Chairperson of the Grapevine Board, stated in her report:

The AA Grapevine belongs to the Fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous, and it is the Fellowship that must decide if the Grapevine will be here for the alcoholic “who still stumbles in the darkness.”

To support the efforts of the Grapevine Board, the Conference Grapevine Committee is reaching out to the broadest spectrum of the Fellowship and gathering information with respect to the value of the Grapevine magazine to them and the use they make of it. The Committee is also asking about possible changes to the magazine.

This survey is in a “fillable” PDF format, so you may save it to your computer, fill out the form and email it to me. It can also be printed for distribution, distributed via email, and posted on district websites.

Whether or not you are currently an AA Grapevine subscriber, please take the time to review and complete the survey. All responses need to be returned to me by November 1. If you are a DCM, please distribute this email and the survey and have the survey posted on your district website so that others may participate in the survey.

Copies of this survey will also be made available at Area Assemblies and Committee meetings and through the next issue of the Concepts newsletter.

In loving service,

Ray M.
