(Home of Bill and Lois Wilson
cofounders of AA and AlaNon
(cofounders with Dr. Bob Smith
and Anne? Smith? respectively)
70th anniversary picnic
online Webinar on Zoom
was free, but signup,
no photographs, recording, etc...
Body
Original Text
So with the PanDemic
no Conferences
AlaNotIntCon2018
was international AlaNon
teen cons, not written/
published about,
and other stuff...
Recently mentioned in today's?
LidlHaulByHandCartTruck2021
more likely
DumbMicIdear2021
as something later today,
nothing for attendees to do
in Webinar format,
some chat at the end,
technical issues,
slides not working,
language translation:
select language (English for moi)
AND mute the original
as getting both
but one speaker
there are usually three
AA
good
Young People in AA
also good
AlaTeen
and
AlaNon
so 4 this time, including
YPAA
kind of all preaching the program,
but that's how it's done,
history to start out of the
Stepping Stones Foundation,
President, outgoing shortly,
CEO/ ExecDirector,
slide shows
history,
some audio of the Family
Bill & Lois
(oddly from other sources)
and others, introductions,
while i feel asleep part way
though the play,
basically love letters between
Bill and Lois,
showing the progression of
Alcoholism, discovery
and founding
on through deaths...
Both founders are gone/
deceased, while
the home where so much of it
happened and his birth place
are historic monuments,
might be good for it to go international,
not sure why, it's a world wide fellowship,
no recordings, screensaving,
naming/quoting,
etc standard anonymity traditions
about the same throughout the
12Step programs
and while i bitch and moan
about stuff, probably why i'm
not a great example of program,
yet i keep coming back...
Glutton (sp?) for punishment
though this one wasn't...
Modified Text
What's Missing?
a guest book
chatting thanks at the end
with 1700+ people attending
when 500 was the in person limit,
dictated by the town,
in WestChester County, NY,
not quite upstate,
but not really typical NY City
either...
What Can Be Found?
history
background
stories
serenity
recovery
gardens
flowers,
pearl necklaces
drunks, mostly in recovery,
etc...
What Can Not Be Found?
my bad attitude
and snarky comments
How To Analyze?
Lenses
Noob
Might be more the graduate
class in 12Step,
history lessons, etc...
But Y(M|Km)MV
Kid(s)
May be some things for kids
to relate to, but probably
depends upon age,
AlaTot this wasn't,
afaict, parental supervision
as always...
Dis/Dys/Diss/Hiss
might be some accommodations,
lots of volunteers, docents,
whatever that is,
seems like an usher/caretaker??
GeneralPublic
if don't know much about Program
may not make a lot of sense,
with all the jargon,
but one way to learn more about
it, from the outside,
from the inside may seem different,
like actors playing disabled,
some other cues/ behaviors
seen, imnsho...
Assumptions
Worth a try,
no sleeping in class,
but opera/ romance
mushy stuff,
sometimes,
luckily besides dropping
smartphone
nodding off,
no harm done...
Time Limits
maybe more replay
of the play in 5 or so
days, sign up on their site
for getting notification,
audio only of speakers
if they do that...

likely other mentions of topics
but maybe not in WebPageName(s)
might learn some other stuff
along the way...
Conclusion
Summary of experience or similar
A short and cheap way of visiting,
not the same as in person,
which i may never get to do,
so maybe one of the good things
of the pandemic, not bucket list
but similar...

How would you find out more?
How wouldn't you?
Recommend for others?
Attraction rather than Promotion?
