Carrying the Message: Service & Scholarships for the 70th Ohio State Convention

70th Ohio State Convention of A.A.

August 14–16, 2026 • Cherry Valley Hotel

"The Three-Legged Stool: Our Foundation for Recovery"

Dear Area 53 Fellowship & Friends,

The countdown is on! The 70th Ohio State Convention of A.A. is approaching quickly, and our committees are hard at work. This spiritual weekend rests upon the firm foundation of our Three Legacies: Recovery, Unity, and Service.

To make this convention a success, we need the loving action of our fellowship. We invite you to carry the message and participate today in one of these vital ways:

🛠️ 1. Step Up: Sign Up for a Service Shift

Keep registration running, greet attendees, or keep our hospitality room cozy. No prior convention service experience is necessary. Click below to secure your shift!

🎁 2. Sponsor a Scholarship: Pass It On!

Can't commit to a physical scheduled service shift but still want to contribute? Carry the message by funding a registration for a fellow member in financial need. A donation of just $45 fully sponsors one registration.
