Tradition Six: An AA group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the AA name to any related facility or outside enterprise,
lest problems of money, property, and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.

1. Should my fellow group members and I go out and raise money to endow several AA beds in our local hospital?
2. Is it good for a group to lease a small building?
3. Are all the officers and members of our local club for AA’s familiar with “Guidelines on Clubs”
(which is available free from GSO)?
4. Should the secretary of our group serve on the mayor’s advisory committee on alcoholism?
5. Some alcoholics will stay around AA only if we have a TV and card room. If this is what is required to
carry the message to them, should we have these facilities?
