The following is an excerpt from our bylaws:

Until 1998 The State of New Hampshire had previously held an annual conference for young people in AA. Subsequently the conference disbanded and remained inactive for the next six years. In February of 2004 The New Hampshire State Conference of Young People in AA was formed in Concord, with the intended purpose of organizing and conducting an annual conference to help other alcoholics of all ages, to recover from alcoholism.

And here is what the Pipeline had to say about NHSCYPAA VI:

After a 5-year absence, the sixth annual New Hampshire Conference of Young People in AA returned March 4 - 6 in Nashua NH. The theme of this year?s conference was "We are not a glum lot," (p. 132, Alcoholics Anonymous), and those in attendence proved this. At meetings, dances, in the hallways or in the lobby, enthusiasm for recovery was unavoidable.

Over 200 AA members attended the conference, mostly from New Hampshire and Massachusetts. While all ages were represented (in AA, young means "still room to grow"), most were in their twenties, and there were several in their teens! When the sobriety countdown was tallied Saturday night, there was over 500 years of sobriety represented.

Kudos to the committee that hosted NHSCYPAA VI. These young people (most committee members are under age 35, and all are AA members, per conference guidelines) put in many hours of service to make this event a rocking good time -- We love you, committee, lots and lots and lots, and whole bunches!
