<p>Welcome, we are so glad you&rsquo;re here.</p>

<p>I&rsquo;m so grateful to be a part of the 2023 San Fernando Valley AA Convention with Al-anon and Alateen participation. My journey began long ago, back in 1991, in Alateen. Soon after, I was encouraged to join the committee for this convention, I was secretary. In my last year in Alateen, I was Chairperson. It was an awesome year at the Burbank Hilton. I have been attending this convention almost every year for over 25 years.</p>

<p>This year is no different, it will be another awesome year. The lobby and hallway will be filled with people talking and catching up with friends from near and far.</p>

<p>It&rsquo;s been a tough couple of years for everyone. This convention is a lighthouse for us all to come back to; for love, support and hugs too. We all need what this convention has to offer. So, pull up a chair, grab a coffee and let&#39;s reconnect with old friends.</p>

<p>Remember our theme for this year:&nbsp;<strong>Trust God. Clean House. Help Others.</strong> It&#39;s a simple reminder of what works. &nbsp;</p>

<p>We look forward to seeing you at the 2023 SFVAAC convention!</p>

<p>Love in Service,</p>

<p>Renee C.</p>

<p>2023 SFVAAC Al-Anon Chair&nbsp;</p>
