THE WESTERN MASS YOUNG PEOPLES
CONFERENCE COMMITTEE

If you are interested in getting active in AA come join the Western Mass Young Peoples Conference Committee.  Don't let the name fool you the term "Young People" is defined as room to grow and young at heart.

Join us at one of our monthly buisness meetings and see what we have to offer.  It's a great way to get to know other people in AA - and be of service to the AA Fellowship.

Western Mass Young People's Business Meetings
are held on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month at 6:30pm
at the Grace United Church on 474 Pleasant Street in Holyoke.

Western Mass Young People's AA Speaker Meeting
is held on the 4th Saturday of each month at 8:00pm at the
