confuse it with immigration.)
it says "But for the Grace of God. Miracles Do Happen" then it has "A guide to Living" which consists of four short sentences. Beneath that is the Intergroup office address and telephone number. The middle two pages consist of "Just for Today" and the back page is "Yesterday- Today-Tomorrow." We were not sure of its origin but we thought it came from Cleveland. I remember our office manager contacting Cleveland Intergroup and asking if we "borrowed " it from them. They said they thought they "borrowed "it from us.
permission is needed from General Service to make it available. Many members carry it in their wallets and when I first came around I was told to read a paragraph a day from this lifesaving can-opener. I hope others can elaborate further on this subject.

Re: The "Who Me" brochure From: Mitchell K. . . . . . . . . . . . . 12/18/2006 11:36:00 PM IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I used to have a whole bunch of "Who Me?" pamphlets printed by Cleveland AA Central Committee in the early days. I do believe these were green in color.
this early literature originated unless there was local documentation announcing it. AA groups around the country obtained pamphlets etc. from other groups or traveling members and in turn, published them as their own. I had several pamphlets, all the same but often with different titles and all published by different AA entities. "Our Charge," "If God Spoke to AA," and others all contained a portion of a speech given by Judge John M. T. in Chicago in the early 1940's. This pamphlet/card showed up all across the US often with "author unknown" or anonymous or the name of a well known local AA member as the person this was taken from. It all was pretty much the same portion of that early Chicago address. ________________________________

Mary Darrah''s "Sister Ignatia" From: James R . . . . . . . . . . . . 12/30/2006 12:58:00 AM IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I was given a copy of Mary Darrah's biography of Sister Ignatia for Christmas. Early on the book mentions that soon after Sr Ignatia's death there was some thought that she might be canonized. Does anyone know if any progress was made in that direction? Jim C. - - - From the moderator: I have been given to understand that, whenever the subject of starting the canonization process for Sister Ignatia is brought up in Catholic Church circles, the immediate response is apt to be that Mary Darrah ought to initiate and oversee the process, as the one most qualified to do it.
money to do all of the extensive research necessary to carry out that process, and that she does not have the funds (and I would suspect probably doesn't have the time either) to initiate and supervise such an extremely involved process.
the candidate's whole background in enormous detail, and is apt to require a widespread campaign involving hundreds (if not thousands) of supporters to get someone canonized as a saint.
seriously on campaigning for Sister Ignatia's canonization, a group that I don't know about, please send us a message.

California. Augustine himself was what we would call today a sexual addict, who could not stop his compulsive womanizing until he finally realized that he had to do the same thing that his mother had done to deal with her alcoholism. It worked for his problem too, which is one of the major themes in his "Confessions." IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ++++Message 3974. . . . . . . . . . . .
