7. Every ACA group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.

If a group is beholding to an outside means of support, then there is pressure to change the group's message to suit its benefactor. This is to protect ACA from that.

I found out quite a bit by reading the Alanon posting on tradition 7.

I suppose we are talking about all contribtions- service incuded.

We do it all ourselves, as members...

Somewhere in the labrinth I read the posting about cash contributions.

I prided myself in checking it out- not getting fearful, not criticising

before finding out the facts. I feel we get a good deal here- I do not

have to hop in the car and go anywhere...

I would hope that if there is a short-fall sometimes that John would let

us know beforehand.

thanks James,,,

Maybe not beforehand, but John does let us know when he needs supplemental funds.  And I'm sure a surprise donation would be more than welcome.

Thanks James,

The steps and traditions kinda mesh together.

Finances were always a source of worry for

me in my home of origin. My inner child can

ask these simple questions- and get answers...

nice...
