Scope and content
Exposure of approximately 300 people at the Alcoholics Anonymous Banquet at the roof garden of the Masonic Temple. In June of 1952, Tacoma hosted a Northwest conference of 750 members of AA from cities in Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, British Columbia and Alaska. Part of the purpose of the conference was to inform invited community leaders and dignitaries of the origins and goals of the organization. There are a few empty chairs at the Saturday night banquet but most of the tables are full and another group of people stand at the rear of the picture. It appears that the banquet has not begun- most places are set with salad plates and coffee cups. Some banquet attendees have brought their children. (T. Reporter 6/21/1952)
