Follow up from the Retreat Interest Survey, and planning for an ACA Oregon Retreat in 2025
A Message from ACA Oregon Intergroup: Thank you to all members that participated in the Retreat Survey held earlier this year. We have compiled the results of the survey that is linked in the post below. Most importantly, there is a resounding “Yes”, to holding another ACA Retreat in the future. Many of you had indicated that you would be interested in helping plan an ACA Retreat or be part of a Retreat committee. To those volunteers, you’ll be emailed separately about how you can help. If you didn’t get a chance to offer service to help us with an upcoming Retreat and would like to, please email ACAOregon@gmail.com for more information. If you’d like to view a summary of the results of the survey we held in March – May, please click this link for a PDF file with this information. Thank you again to the ACA fellowship for providing this valuable feedback. I can’t wait for us to get this process started!
As a note, this meeting will be closed on November 7th due to the ACA Fall Getaway.
ACA Event Updates
A new event calendar has been added to the website!
All event posts made on the website’s blog will also be listed in the calendar linked here, and from the navigation menu at the top of the page under the ACA Meetings heading.
This calendar will allow you to view a list of upcoming events, events happening each month, and the option to subscribe to the calendar on a number of calendar apps to make them easier for you to view.
The calendar is still being tested, so the appearance may change slightly over time until we find a format that works best.
Below is a posting of the ACA event ideas that were brainstormed at the Event Planning Meeting held in May. These events aren’t scheduled on the calendar, and still need volunteers to help plan them.
You can also view this event ideas flyer from this PDF link.
If you’re interested in:
- Planning any of the events listed below
- Want to host your own event idea and would like more information on the process,
- Have any other related questions about ACA events and service
Please reach out through the Contact Form, or send an email directly to ACAOregon@gmail.com.

Fellowship Alert: Fraudulent Big Red Books sold through online retailers
During the month of June, it was discovered that online retailers through Amazon were selling counterfeit printings of ACA Big Red Books. The fellowship was notified of this information in July, and the WSO has been working to take down fraudulent listings of this book since that time.
Attached to this notice are copies of the memos sent to the ACA fellowship during July. These memos contain more detailed information about these counterfeit books, how to identify them, how to avoid purchasing them, and guidance on how to return your book if you’ve purchased a fraudulent copy.
Please be aware of these issues when purchasing from online retailers, and be sure to purchase ACA literature from trusted service members, verified retailers, or directly from ACA WSO whenever possible.
Feel free to use the linked PDFs of these memos to distribute this information to your local meetings. Below is also a link to the memos posted from ACA WSO through AdultChildren.org:
