March 2 in A.A. History

1941: A meeting was held in the office of the Cleveland Switchboard Co. for the purpose of forming the Cuyahoga County A/A [sic] Committee. The meeting was held, and the motion carried. But a movement to oust Clarence S. [right] as Chairman had arisen, and he was voted out of the office of Chairman, just as he had previously been kicked out of A.A. during the Cleveland Group’s initial split. They then elected Bill H. as chair and sought to sever all ties with Clarence. 
    The announcement card for the meeting read as follows:

    MOTION by B___, second by C___ - that a CLEARING HOUSE COMMITTEE be formed, and that it be composed of two (2) members from each and every A/A [sic] Group in Cuyahoga County. This Committee to have NO AUTHORITY to commit, involve or bind any one or all of the Groups in Cuyahoga County in any manner whatsoever without referring proposed ideas, plans or propositions to each individual Group for its acceptance or rejection.
    MOTION was carried.
    COMMITTEE MEMBERS: Kindly conform to this important rule.

C[larence]. H. S――, Chairman.

1979: At the urging of Nancy M.-O., former Senator Harold E. Hughes [left: autographed photo of the two of them working together, c. 1970–80] appeared as a witness before the Senate Subcommittee on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse—a committee he had once chaired. She would later write With a Lot of Help from Our Friends, a book about her work with Senator Hughes.
