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.
