1997 11th ANNUAL ARIZONA AREA CONVENTION
RISING FROM THE WREAKAGE
JULY 3-6, 1997
TEMPE, AZ
Ruby C. asked a few long-time Arizona Area members why the image of a pig was on so many of the buttons made for Arizona events. She was told it was to represent being committed to Recovery and it refers the pig and hen parable —
A pig and a hen sharing the same barnyard heard about a church’s program to feed the hungry. The pig and the hen discussed how they could help. The hen said, “I’ve got it! We’ll provide bacon and eggs for the church to feed the hungry.” The pig thought about the suggestion and said, “There’s only thing wrong with your bacon and eggs idea. For you, it only requires a contribution, but from me, it will mean total commitment!”
