\nExcerpt from a letter to the Alcoholic Foundation from San Francisco:<br>
\nON May 23rd, while on business in Reno, I found that city had a bad need of an AA group so I got busy and started one – a little group of four with the first meeting on Saturday evening in the house of a couple. I recently heard that the group has increased to ten.

1946 September
\nExcerpt from Grapevine:
\nWriting about the Las Vegas, Nevada Group, with 35 men and woman to date, and the new branch that has been formed by members from Boulder City and Henderson, a Las Vegas correspondent, lauding the work of A.A., begins with: “Last November, when it was announced that Alcoholics Anonymous had organized in Las Vegas, a startled woman went to her minister and complained at the sorry state of affairs. She declared that things were coming to an awful fix
\n‘when the drunks organize.”<\/p>\n
Reno Group – reported building a clubhouse and plans a big meeting on November 17th\u00a0 with the San Francisco Group, the Governor, Warden of the State Prison, chief of Police,\u00a0 Mayor and many others
\n1946 October
\nExcerpt from the Grapevine:
\nFrom Northern California comes word that there has been “considerable opposition to
\nthe A.A. program in Reno, Nevada.” But since some of the Sacramento and Roseville\u00a0 members
\n18 in all – went to Reno and held an opening meet, it is felt that the Reno populace now has a better understanding of the aims of A.A.
