Financial information
Tri-State Roundup
Organization and
Financial Overview
The Roundup is a
non-profit corporation. We strive to make each year’s event an
informative and exciting gathering while keeping as close to breakeven
financially as is possible. In accordance with the Traditions of Alcoholics
Anonymous we maintain a prudent reserve. Some years we lose money. If the Roundup produces a
surplus we contribute the portion above our prudent reserve to AA
General Service in New York, AA Area 42 in Nevada, AA California
mid-Southern Area 9, AA Southern California Area 5, AA Arizona Area 3,
and the general office of the Al-Anon Family Groups. The total
contribution from the 2009 Roundup was $3,000.
We do not take 7th tradition collections at speaker meetings.
7th tradition collections are taken at marathon
meetings.
A Bill W. Fund is maintained to pay registrations for those in
need. This Bill W. Fund is supported by Registrant donations. Many
attendees round up their payment to feed the Bill W. Fund; many others
contribute the cost of one registration (approximately $20.). No one is
turned away because they do not have the funds to register. Everyone who
asks is given a registration badge and there is no distinction between
those who paid and those who availed themselves of the Bill W. Fund.
Badges are required at all Roundup events.
If you have any questions about the finances of the Roundup
