| July 26-29, 2012, a new page in SERCYPAA history will be written.... |
SERCYPAA., the Southeastern Regional Conference of Young
People in Alcoholics Anonymous, was started in Chattanooga,
Tennessee in 1974. The Conference immediately became a
traveling conference; recovering A.A.’s could present a bid that
would hopefully bring the Conference to their own state within the
Southeast region. The Conference then was held in Atlanta,
Georgia in 1975. The third SERCYPAA was awarded to
Birmingham, Alabama, but never transpired. The Conference
became inactive for six years.
A similarly named conference, the Southern Regional Young
People’s Conference of Alcoholics Anonymous, began in 1981 in
Atlanta, Georgia. Its organizers intended to host the conference in
Atlanta until attendance and finances were stable enough to
become a traveling conference; that conference collapsed due to
financial problems. Little is known of SERCYPAA’s history from
1985 to 1988.
In 1989, SERCYPAA was reestablished when it was held in Fort
Lauderdale, Florida. The next SERCYPAA was held in conjunction
with Florida State Young People’s Conference in Jacksonville,
Florida. It became its own entity again when Memphis, Tennessee
received SERCYPAA in the summer of 1990. SERCYPAA has
continued steadily as an annual traveling conference since 1989.

| Only 1 more supportive event before the conference and we saved the best for last!! Grass court Volleyball tournament!! |
If you've never attended one of the v-ball tournaments held in North Mississippi or Memphis be
forewarned - this ain't your grandmother's backyard game. It's intense fun and competition not for the
faint of heart. To date no one has been able to knock of the North MS squad. Memphis has tried.
Nashville went back to the Music City empty handed. Louisiana - who knows what they're really doin
down there. Will it be Jackson, TN? Little Rock?
The only way to know is to put your best 4-6 person team or teams together to represent your group
or district and join us on June 16th for some fun in the sun. There will be food and drink, horseshoes,
and other things to keep people of all ages entertained for the day!!
Trophies will be awarded and all proceeds will go towards finalizing this years conference.
SERCY SERCY SERCY PAA PAA PAA!!!!
