Holiday Alkathons are events where we gather on holidays (typically Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve/Day) for marathon meetings, food, and fellowship. The holidays can be a particularly difficult time of year for many alcoholics, and alkathons help provide a safe, sober place to celebrate.
At Maple Rock, meetings are held every two hours during an Alkathon, and typically for a full 24 hours. Each meeting is sponsored by an AA Meeting Group (like the Saturday Morning Womens and Mens Meetings for example). Part of your financial contributions during these meetings go to help the Huron Valley Area Intergroup. Watch this site for announcements on upcoming Alkathons and find out what is going on.
