Greeting fellow AA friends!

The 2005 Spiritual Homecoming is right around the corner! We are excited to conclude our final email newsletter with the following updates to the event.

Event program information is now online at www.stl2005.org covering dates and times. There will be something of special interest for everyone. Not just history, but the here and now, with even a look toward the future. The Marathon Meeting slots have been filled by groups from all parts of the country. Whether you just like being at conferences with the many others sharing your road to "happy destiny" or are a big fan of AA history, the event will be buzzing with all.

The Archive Exhibits continue to grow. We now have 23 A.A. Area Exhibits plus a couple of special ones - especially the many items from the Fr. Dowling Collection by special permission of Maryville University Library. This is truly going to be the largest collection of Archive Exhibits ever put together under one roof.

Victor E. has promised to be here the whole weekend, as well as The Selfishsteam from Hartford, Ct. and The Sober Sweeties from the Metro St. Louis Area.

In addition to the speakers highlighted on our website program, there are many others you will know when you see them - all sharing experience, strength & hope during this wonderful weekend. A full Al-Anon program is lined up as well. Our multi-media with live speakers Sunday morning program is right on track. We also have a few surprises in store for you.

We need each and every one of you who have not already registered and made your travel plans to do so. The celebration of the 50th Anniversary of A.A.'s Coming of Age in St. Louis is a
Celebration in part for the fact that today there is an A.A. presence in over 180 countries around the world. What greater statement than that to illustrate that "What happened here defined A.A.'s future."

Come be a part of this one time, once in a lifetime celebration. We need you!

Also, feel free to email us at committee@stl2005.org. To date we have received many wonderful emails and much enthusiasm has been generated both on the part of the committee as well as the attendees.
