Do I write up a flyer, do I write up a short biography of the town with all the pros listed. Do I make it like a brochure? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just a quick note: Our town has not been selected yet for the conference. I am in charge of making something up so when we go to the area group we can give reasons why they should pick our town over the other town, there are only 2 towns they will choose from to host the convention in 2008. I am new to AA and don't have a lot of experienced people helping me with this.

This is what I will do and I would like you to see if it make sense.
You need to write flyer's to advertise about the event that coming to your town. You can add the history of your town but make it short and savvy.
2. Line up volunteers for the event. I urge you get a sign up at the churches or library.
3. Get free ad in you town Radio for the event.
4. Get a free advertisement in Your home town Newspaper.
5. You need to make a brochure to give to everyone who attend your event. In the brochure you need to write about the sponsors the schedules for the event and a short Thank you note for everyone.
6. Meanwhile look for a sponsors and use them to pay for the cost of Conference. If you have extra money then you give them back by Thank you volunteer and the people who help you.
7.Make sure you have a plan and a list of people who help, volunteers as well as sponsors.
8. You need to have a record of event since the day one then you will not miss anything.
9. Remember a record of money and make sure the money you receive =the expense, then you are clean and anyone can see anytime.
10. Call and write to thank you everyone who help you.
11. the local Kinko store can advise you how to do the flyer as well as the event brochure.

Are you talking Alcoholic Anonymous? My understanding from the 5 years I was involved with them prior to letting Christ take over, that they do not allow any promotion or advertising of any kind, regardless of which way its being directed, which would include a brochure.
Why not just write the council and ask them how you go about it? The address is on the back of all their literature, or even write to Hazelden (can't remember for sure how it is spelled), they could probably give you advice also.

Contact places that have already hosted the conference and ask them if you could see a copy of their proposals/applications. Also, AA probably has some sort of application format that they want you to follow. Start there.

For purposes of anonymity, you probably shouldn't deal with that here. Try connecting with other AA's, go to the GSR meeting, contact AA in New York, etc. I wouldn't deal with it on YA.

I would contact other AA centers for suggestions. They have experience and can give you the best info.
