Al-Anon & Alateen Participation
In addition to participation at each of the main speaker meetings, Al-Anon/Alateen
will have several meetings during EURYPAA. We will also have a "Double-Winners"
meeting for those in AA who also attend Al-Anon, and those in Al-Anon who have
come to believe they also need to attend AA.

Anon/Alateen during EURYPAA, email alanon@eurypaa.org.
A Statement About Anonymity
There may be some attending EURYPA who are not familiar with our Tradition
of personal anonymity at the public level:
"Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion, we
need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and
films."
Thus, we respectfully ask that A.A. speakers and A.A. members not be
photographed, videotaped, or identified by full name on audiotapes and in
published or broadcast reports of our meetings, including those reports on
new media technologies such as the Internet.
The assurance of anonymity is essential in our efforts to help other problem
drinkers who may wish to share our recovery program with us. And our
Tradition of anonymity reminds us that "A.A. principles come before
personalities."
