Item description from seller

General wear, pencil markings, clean, no markings, ORIGINAL "Thursday Nite Group Room 203 8:00 PM 1932 Seneca Hotel " Backpage: 25 Magazine articles with AA information: The Journal Lancet July 1939 to American Weekly July 11-18, 1943 In western New York, Rochester was an early center for A.A. activity. The first meeting was held some time in March 1942 in the apartment of one of the members, on South Goodman St. At the same time, Dr. Kirby Collier read about A.A. and brought it to the attention of six of his alcoholic patients. They met with the others and formed the Seneca group which met for the first time on April 27 at the Seneca Hotel. Although twelfth-step calls were hard to make in the war years due to gas rationing, the Rochester members persisted by bus or on foot. In the late 40s, an old-timer practically wore out his old red Hudson car making A.A. calls, running recruits to and from Ward 3CX (for alcoholic men) or Ward 4CX (for alcoholic women) at the County Hospital. The requirement for a patient to get on these wards was that a sober member bring the patient to the ward and take him or her from the ward. By February 46, the Seneca group had 200 members and split into the Cumberland, Christ Church and Academy groups. Later that year there were meetings seven days a week in Rochester.
