HVYPAA'S BURNING DESIRE BONFIRE
HVYPAA's annual Burning Desire Bonfire is an annual event where alcoholics, young and old, come together to celebrate sobriety. We camp, laugh, and fellowship all weekend. The weekend is highlighted on Saturday night by the lighting of the two-story bonfire. Activities for the weekend include hiking, swimming, outdoor sports and, of course, round the clock meetings and fellowship. We would love to have you at our next bonfire! The great news is that all the information to get there is right on this page. HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
"Children of chaos, we defiantly played with every brand of fire, only to emerge unharmed and, we think, wiser." -From AA's 12&12 pg. 146
