Conventions and conferences like this are special events, NOT regular AA or Al-Anon meetings. They require months of planning, preparation, and substantial money to put on. Since this conference will be held at the Hannibal Quality Inn & Suites there is a charge for the use of the facilities. Additionally, the hotel will require the minimum purchases be made throughout the hotel. Other expenses include: room and board for the speakers, printing and postage, and supplies for conference advertising and onsite hospitality/activities. The MVRC is self-supporting. The total cost is paid through registration fees – however, baskets may or may not be passed. Attendance is voluntary and as responsible AA and Al-Anon members we “pay our own way.” Thank you for your participation and continued support of the annual Mississippi Valley Regional Conference. MVRC committee members are volunteers from: AA - District 13, 6, & 7 in Missouri, District 5 in Illinois, District 10 in Iowa ~and~ District 19 Al-Anon Family Groups in MO and District 15 Al-Anon Family Groups in Illinois
