Your Denver Central Office hosts two major events every year, the Unity Day picnic and the Longtimer’s Brunch.
Unity Day Picnic
STAY TUNED FOR MORE INFO ON 2024 Unity Day
The Unity Day Picnic, began June 2005 in Edgewater’s Citizen’s Park. An opportunity for our fellowship to remember our Founder’s Day and for all of us to have fellowship together. It has been a hit every year since then. Its a great day for food, fellowship, music and summer fun.
What is Founder’s Day?
In June 1945, a historic gathering took place in Cleveland, Ohio. It commemorated A.A.’s tenth anniversary.
Over 2,500 members of Alcoholics Anonymous attended the two-day event. Members came from 36 states, two Canadian provinces, and Mexico.
Celebrations kicked off on Saturday, June 9th. Two regular A.A. meetings and two “open house” meetings held in different parts of Cleveland. On June 10th, co-founders Bill W. and Dr. Bob spoke to a crowd of 1,000 at the Music Hall in downtown Cleveland.
In his talk, Bill spoke about the growth of A.A., briefly retelling his own story and about the writing of the Big Book. Bill concluded his talk by stating that “A.A. is much bigger than any of us.” He joked that Dr. Bob and himself were “a couple of old, cracked antiques who have had a little more experience than others.”
Following Bill, Dr. Bob spoke briefly about the development of A.A. in Akron, Ohio. He concluded by saying, “Our program must be followed by each individual. And each individual is the only one who can do it for himself.”
Bill stated that June 10th was “a day for congratulations, for thanksgiving and for celebration,” and that A.A. “could not have been but for others.”
