Did you know that the NCCAA Conference has been around longer than the General Service Conference held in New York? Bill Wilson was inspired to create the General Service Conference after seeing the NCCAA conference. The Northern California Council of Alcoholics Anonymous (NCCAA) is holding their Autumn 2023 Conference in Fresno this year. Pre-registration gets you discounts on costs and helps the organizers know how many people will attend.

The discount for the hotel ends September 28 – ten days from now, and the discount for the conference registration ends October 1st, thirteen days from now.

Please see the link above for all the activites at the conference.

The 19th Annual Men’s Spiritual Retreat will be held in Three Rivers at Saint Anthony’s Retreat on December 1st through 3rd. It’s practically in our backyard!

The 36th Annual Serenity In The Sierras conference will be in Oakhurst (east of Fresno) October 20, 21, and 22. There will be seven speakers, dinner and breakfast, dancing, karaoke and a raffle. Registration costs vary from $20 for only the conference, up to $94 including all meals, ice cream, a tee-shirt and a mug.
