Al-Anon Family Groups’ 75th Anniversary!

Start with a Special Open House! |
From its early beginnings as the Clearing House, founded by Lois W. and Anne B. in 1951, to its formal incorporation as a nonprofit under the name Al‑Anon Family Group Headquarters, Inc. in 1954, the World Service Office (WSO) has been the heart of Al‑Anon service for over 75 years!
Join us in commemorating this remarkable milestone with a special day of celebration, beginning with a heartfelt welcome at our World Service Office!
