Dear Convention Guests,

WELCOME to the 33rd Annual San Fernando Valley Convention. Our Convention Planning Committee has worked hard to make this year's event successful. For this I am very grateful.

I would like to thank the Al-Anon and Alateen Committee along with the Spanish A.A.'s and Al-Anons who participated to make this a complete family of recovery.

My wish is that you will benefit from the various events, meetings and entertainment planned for you.

Our theme for this year's convention is " Road of Happy Destiny" which is included in the following paragraph on page 164 of the big book of Alcoholics Anonymous.

  "Abandon yourself to God as you understand God. Admit your faults
to Him and to your fellows. Clear away the wreckage of your past. 
Give freely what you find and join us. We shall be with you in the
Fellowship of Spirit, and you will surely meet some of us as you trudge the
Road of Happy Destiny.

May God bless you and keep you until then."

This is your convention, have FUN and enjoy it! 

Thank you for allowing me to be of service.
