First 2014 Roundup Committee Meeting

Sponsored by the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender members of Alcoholics Anonymous, The Big Apple Roundup organizes an annual conference based on our program of recovery, and host events for fellowship throughout the year.

The Big Apple Roundup, founded in 1980, is a recognized group of Alcoholics Anonymous and adheres to the guidelines and principles set forth by the Twelve Steps, Twelve Traditions, Twelve Concepts, the AA Service Manual, and the Guidelines for Conferences, Conventions, and Roundups published by A.A. World Services.

Thank you.

Our 2013 Roundup was a complete success thanks to a dedicated committee and the support of our sober community!

We have elected a new committee for 2014, and the future looks bright ahead – there are still opportunities to do roundup service in 2014 – come to our next committee meeting and get involved – email: cochairs@bigappleroundup.org for more info!

Hear the Speakers that Started It All – The 1980 Big Apple Roundup

33 years ago, in the aftermath of hate crimes and anti-gay violence that marked the social struggle for acceptance and tolerance in America following the post-Stonewall years, a handfull of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered members of A.A. and Al-Anon in New York City decided they needed a safe space, a voice, and a community. The came together and formed the Big Apple Roundup, a committee of dozens of individuals who worked together for more than a year to produce New York’s first Roundup. Their stories of losing jobs, being evicted from homes, being shunned by their familes, AND RECOVERING and finding JOY through the 12 steps and the fellowship, have been preserved and protected in the Big Apple Roundup Archives for all these years. And today we are pleased to be able to present them to you. Listen to the Speaker now.
