CHANGES FOR FOUNDERS' DAY 2010

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous here in Akron and one that promises to bring exciting changes both in the conference and the registration process.

As final decisions and negotiations are made, information will be posted here first.

Venue

The most exciting change is in the location for the “Big Meeting” Saturday night. We're very happy to announce that, rain or shine, we will all be together in Akron University's new InfoCision Stadium (capacity 30,000) located right on campus. This is an open stadium so prepare accordingly.

More information on the stadium can be found at these external links:

The Sunday Morning Motorcade to Dr. Bob's Gravesite…
is a conference event and as such,you must be
registered to participate.

Registration will begin March 1st - 9:00 am.

Basic Registration and Package Plans fees will remain the same for 2010.

  • Basic Registration - $17.00
  • Package A - $175.00
  • Package B - $125.00

Basic Registrations provide entrance to the conference and all meetings for the entire weekend.

We will continue to offer a "full" Package Plan A for $175.00. As always, Package Plan A includes:

  • Basic Registration (ribbon & name badge)
  • Accomodations (Friday & Saturday night)
  • Saturday breakfast, lunch, and dinner
  • Sunday breakfast
  • Bus tour of the historic sites

Package Plan B.

  • Basic Registration (ribbon & name badge)
  • Accomodations (Friday & Saturday night)
  • Bus tour of the historic sites

In essence, Package Plan B is Package Plan A minus meals. This is in direct response to the many requests we have received over the years.

Meals are still available á la carte and priced the same as last year.
They are served in the Student Union as follows:

  • Saturday Breakfast - $12 | 8-9 am
  • Saturday Lunch - $17 | 12-1 pm
  • Saturday Dinner - $23 | 4:30-6 pm
  • Sunday Breakfast - $12 | 8:30-10 am

Site tags for both Tent and RV are priced the same as last year.

  • Site Tag (Tent) - $30.00
  • Site Tag (RV) - $30.00

Procedure changes (University requirements based on security and liability).

  • Registrations will be limited to 1 per transaction.
    One name - One registration
    (Multiple transactions are welcome)
  • Full names will be required for Basic registrations.
  • Full name and address will be required for each Package Plan.

On-line registration will no longer begin at midnight. It will start the same time as over the counter registration in our Central Office, 9:00 am.

There is also a new phone number for Founders' Day. For support and help with questions call 234-525-0732. Please remember the Founders' Day coordinators are all volunteers. Someone will return your call as soon as they are able.

Please check back here for news and updated information. We're all looking forward to having our friends back with us this year to celebrate the gift of Alcoholics Anonymous. We are working hard to insure that this is the best, most secure, and unified Founders' Day ever.
