2 v * * * * * * * * * AT THE CONVENTION WEATHER San Antonio is hot in July. During the day, prepare for temperatures over 90 degrees (33º C). Remember, it is typically degrees cooler to stand in the shade. We are concerned about your safety. Proper hydration is key! We will have water stations and shaded areas available, and there will be plenty of water for sale throughout the facilities. Air conditioning will make it cool indoors. Consider bringing a sweater or jacket for the air-conditioned temperatures. AIRPORT TRANSPORTATION Taxis are available. A less expensive option is a shared airport shuttle; for information visit INTERNATIONAL TRAVELERS Persons visiting from countries outside of the U.S. must have a valid passport and may require other documentation. For more information, visit the U.S. State Department Web site: Even if you do not need a visa, you may be required to obtain authorization before traveling from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency via the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA). Find information about ESTA online at JULY 5th If your travel plans include a visit to the G.S.O. and Grapevine offices in New York, note that they will be closed Monday, July 5th in observance of Independence Day. ANONYMITY AND THE INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION While our members have differing views of how to adhere to the principle of anonymity laid out in A.A. s Eleventh and Twelfth Traditions, here are some suggestions for practicing these principles at A.A.'s 75th Anniversary Celebration in San Antonio: PHOTOGRAPHS Out of respect for others, please do not take photographs during any of the meetings at the International Convention. Please remember that the taking of photos during A.A. meetings makes many members uncomfortable about the confidentiality of the gathering. Also, please be considerate when taking photographs around Convention venues. Take care that you do not capture images of A.A. members, family members and friends who did not give permission and may not wish to appear in your pictures. The INTERNET The long form of A.A.'s Eleventh Tradition says "Our names and pictures as A.A. members ought not be broadcast, filmed or publicly printed." In keeping with this principle, please do not post recognizable photos of identifiable A.A. members on Web sites accessible to the public, including unrestricted pages on social networking sites. REMEMBER... Whatever the medium, no disclosure of a member's affiliation with A.A. can rightfully be made by anyone but the individual him or herself. "It should be the privilege of each A.A. to cloak himself with as much personal anonymity as he desires. His fellow A.A. s should respect his wishes and help guard whatever status he wants to assume." ( Anonymity by Bill W., A.A. Grapevine, January 1946) EL TIEMPO Hace calor en julio en San Antonio. Durante el día la temperatura puede ascender a más de 90º F (33º C). Suele hacer más fresco, grados menos, en la sombra. Nos preocupa su bienestar. Es muy importante hidratarse adecuadamente. Habrá puestos de agua y áreas sombreadas, y se podrá comprar agua en todas las instalaciones. Habrá aire acondicionado dentro de las instalaciones. Consideren la posibilidad de traer un suéter o una chaqueta para cuando estén adentro. TRANSPORTE ENTRE EL AEROPUERTO Y LOS HOTELES Hay taxis disponibles. Una opción más económica es el servicio de autobús del aeropuerto; para información visite VIAJEROS INTERNACIONALES Los asistentes provenientes de países fuera de los EE.UU. tienen que tener un pasaporte válido y tal vez necesiten otra documentación. Para más información, visiten el Web site del Departamento de Estado de los EE.UU.: Aunque no necesiten un visado, es posible que antes de su viaje tengan que obtener autorización de la Agencia de Aduanas y Protección de Fronteras de los EE.UU. (U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency) por medio del Sistema Electrónico de Autorización de Viaje (ESTA) (Electronic System for Travel Authorization). Pueden encontrar información sobre ESTA en línea en 5 de JULIO Si tienen intención de incluir en sus planes de viaje una visita a la oficinas de la OSG y del Grapevine de Nueva York, tengan presente que estarán cerradas el lunes, 5 de julio, por motivo de la fiesta del Día de la Independencia. EL ANONIMATO Y LA CONVENCIÓN INTERNACIONAL Los A.A. pueden tener opiniones diferentes acerca de cómo aferrarse al principio de anonimato, según se describen en las Tradiciones 11 y 12 de A.A.; no obstante, a continuación aparecen algunas sugerencias específicas que les ayudarán a poner en práctica estos principios en la celebración del 75 aniversario de A.A. en San Antonio: FOTOGRAFÍAS Por respeto a los demás, no se deben sacar fotos en ninguna reunión de la Convención Internacional. Tengan presente que sacar fotos en una reunión de A.A. hace que muchos miembros se sientan preocupados por la confidencialidad de la reunión. Además, sean considerados al hacer fotografías en los diferentes lugares de la Convención. Tengan cuidado de no sacar fotos de miembros de A.A., amigos y familiares que no han dado permiso para hacerlo y pueden no desear aparecer en sus fotos. EL INTERNET La forma larga de la Undécima Tradición dice: No se deben publicar, filmar o difundir nuestros nombres o fotografías identificándonos como miembros de A.A. Conforme con este principio, les rogamos que no publiquen fotos de miembros de A.A. que se puedan reconocer como tales en sitios del Web a los que miembros del público tienen libre acceso, incluidas las páginas sin restricción de las redes sociales. RECUERDEN... Sea cual sea el medio, nadie que no sea el mismo miembro tiene el derecho de revelar su afiliación a A.A. Debe ser el privilegio de cada miembro individual de AA abrigarse con tanto anonimato personal como desee. Sus compañeros de AA deben respetar sus deseos y ayudarle a guardar su anonimato en el grado que le parezca apropiado. ( El anonimato por Bill W., A.A. Grapevine, enero de 1946) TEMPÉRATURE Il fait chaud en juillet à San Antonio. Pendant le jour, il fait plus de 30 C ou 90 degrés Fahrenheit. N oubliez pas qu il fait 10 ou 15 degrés de moins à l ombre. Nous nous soucions de votre sécurité. Il est nécessaire de bien s hydrater! Il y aura des stations d eau et des endroits ombragés, et beaucoup d eau en vente dans tous les endroits. Il fera frais à l intérieur en raison de l air climatisé. Pensez à apporter un lainage ou une veste pour les endroits climatisés. TRANSPORT DE L AÉROPORT Il y a des taxis sur place. Un choix moins dispensieux serait de prendre la navette de l aéroport ; pour plus d informations, allez à VOYAGEURS INTERNATIONAUX Les personnes qui viennent de pays à l extérieur des É.-U. doivent avoir un passeport en règle et on pourrait leur demander d autres documents. Pour plus d informations, visitez le site Web du U.S. State Department : Même si un visa n est pas nécessaire, on pourrait vous demander d obtenir une autorisation de l Agence frontalière et limitrophe de protection des É.-U., via le Système électronique d autorisation de voyager (ESTA). Pour des informations sur ESTA, aller en ligne, à 5 JUILLET Si vos projets de voyage comprennent une visite aux bureaux du BSG et du Grapevine à New York, veuillez prendre note qu ils seront fermés lundi le 5 juillet, pour célébrer le Jour de l Indépendanace. L ANONYMAT ET LE CONGRÈS INTERNATIONAL Même si nos membres ont des opinions différentes quant à la façon de respecter le principe de l anonymat tel qu énoncé dans les Onzième et Douzième Traditions des AA, voici quelques suggestions pour mettre en pratique ces principes lors des célébrations du 75e anniversaire des AA à San Antonio : PHOTOS Par respect pour les autres, veuillez ne pas prendre de photos pendant les réunions du Congrès international. N oubliez pas que le fait de prendre des photos pendant les réunions des AA inquiète certains membres en ce qui a trait à la confidentialité du rassemblement. De plus, ayez de la considération lorsque vous prenez des photos autour des sites du Congrès. Veuillez à ne pas prendre de photos de membres des AA, de membres de famille et d amis qui n ont pas donné de permission et qui pourraient ne pas vouloir paraître dans vos photos. INTERNET La formule intégrale de la Onzième Tradition des AA dit: «Nos noms et nos photos nous identifiant comme membres des AA ne devraient jamais être diffusés sur les ondes ou dans les films ou des écrits publics». Conformément à ce principe, veuillez ne pas afficher de photos où l on pourrait reconnaître ou identifier des membres des AA sur des sites Web accessibles au public, y compris des pages avec libre accès à des sites de réseautages sociaux. N OUBLIEZ PAS... Quel que soit le média, personne ne peut dévoiler l affiliation d aucun membre avec les AA, sauf le membre lui-même. «Chaque membre des AA devrait avoir le privilège de se protéger d autant d anonymat qu il le désire. Ses frères AA devraient respecter son désir et l aider à préserver quelque statut qu il veut assumer». («L anonymat», par Bill W., A.A. Grapeevine, janvier 1946).

This book, first printed in 1957, tells the history of A.A.'s beginnings, shares about the early growth of A.A. around the world, and recounts the historic 1955 International Convention in Cleveland, when the oldtimers turned responsibility for A.A.'s future over to the entire membership. If you have never read this book, we hope that you will treat yourself to this fascinating chronicle. A.A. GRAPEVINE 75TH ANNIVERSARY CONVENTION ISSUE Published for the 2010 International Convention, this special issue of the Grapevine celebrates the birth and world-wide growth of Alcoholics Anonymous from 1935 to the present. Drawn from 65 years of Grapevine stories, this richly illustrated magazine contains art and articles chronicling the growth of A.A. as it happened; pictures, talks, and reports from past Conventions; histories of the Preamble, Steps, and Traditions; articles by the co-founders and pioneers of the program and its distinguished supporters; and cartoons, jokes, and anecdotes about the early days of A.A. Copies of these special items are limited. Order in advance and copies will be waiting when you check in at the Registration Hall.
