What is a Faithful Fiver?
Faithful Fivers are AA members who in gratitude pledge to contribute at least five dollars each month toward the support of Central Office in it's quest to carry the AA message of hope and recovery to those alcoholics who still suffer in the Tri-State area.
The Faithful Fiver idea came about when we remembered that many of us wasted many times more than that amount each month during our drinking days. Your contribution (which is Tax Deductible) will help Central Office fulfill its duties.

Corky's life was an exemplary display of his service above self with his focused passion towards AA, the Alano Club, Rotary and WestCare amongst many others. Corky and his wife moved to Bullhead City in 1980 and made an impact on the growth of BHC and the community.
Corky was preceded in death by his wife of 66 years; and brother.
He is survived by his beloved dog; five children; and eight grand children.
A celebration of life will be announced in the coming weeks. In lieu of gifts or flowers, we ask that donations be made in Corky's honor to the Alano Club of Bullhead City.
