We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

LET'S GET TOGETHER, AA MEMBERS! Don't you think it's about time we had some fun? We think so, too — so here's what the AA has planned for our first social gathering of 1951: On Friday, February 16, there will be an informal "Get-Together" at the Hotel Dorset, 54th St. between 5th and 6th, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Those of you who have the strength to dance after a hard day's work will do so - to music by all the top bands. Or just sit and relax, mix with your friends, and enjoy saying more than just "hello" to those you see occasionally in the hallways. The bar will be prepared to serve you your favorite libation, on a personal charge basis. Because of limited space (capacity 300) it will be necessary to grant admission on a first-come, first-served basis. All who wish to attend should go to Employee Services, Room 705, for tickets, which will be available Feb. 12 through Feb. 16. TICKETS ARE FREE OF CHARGE TO ALL AA MEMBERS; And if you want to bring a guest, you may do so at a cost of only fifty cents. Hope you're planning to come — because we're counting on seeing you.
