OCMDAA NOVEMBER 2016 NEWSLETTER PAGE 1
“On awakening, let us think about the twenty-four hours ahead. We consider our plans for the day. Before we begin, we ask God to direct our thinking, especially asking that it be divorced from self-pity, dishonest or self-seeking motives. Under these conditions we can employ our mental faculties
with assurance, for after all God gave us brains to use. Our thought-life will be placed on a much higher plane when our thinking is cleared of wrong motives.”

Tradition Eleven – “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.”
“In the beginning, the press could not understand our refusal of all personal publicity. They were genuinely baffled by our insistence upon anonymity. Then they got the point. Here was something rare in the world—a society which said it wished to publicize its principles and its work, but not its individual members. The press was delighted with this attitude. Ever since, these friends have reported A.A. with an enthusiasm which the most ardent members would find hard to match.”

Dr. Bob dies of cancer on November 16, 1950. During the Akron physician’s 15 years of sobriety, the
Fellowship he started with Bill W. had transformed the lives of close to 100,000 men and women and
their loved ones.
In November 2001, a new edition of the Big Book – the culmination of four years of development and 25-
plus committee meetings – rolls off the presses. While the first 164 pages remain
unchanged, the new edition includes the stories of 41 sober alcoholics (24 new
stories and 17 “keepers” from the third edition) reaching a wider cross-section of
membership by reflecting the breadth of A.A. experiences, ages, beliefs, and
ethnicities. G.S.O. New York sends a complimentary copy of the fourth edition to
groups in the U.S. and Canada.
District 32 and the Ocean City Area Fellowship Intergroup meet every first Tuesday of the month at the Atlantic Club, 11827 Ocean Gateway (Route 50 Westbound), Ocean City, MD 21842. The District meeting starts at 5:30 PM, followed by the Intergroup meeting at 6 PM
