Spring Celebration of Recovery
In May of every year, the SCR hosts an event that has both an AA and an Al-Anon speaker. The event was initiated in the early 1990's as a way to bring back speakers that had spoken at the Fall Roundup. This one-evening roundup event has typically included a dinner for those attendees desiring to purchase a banquet ticket. The speakers are open meetings and can be attended by anyone.
In the Spring of 2018 SCR decided not to do the banquet. We have included an Alateen Speaker to precede the Al-Anon Speaker.The open meeting tickets are priced based on anticipated attendance at a break-even rate.For the past several years, this event has been held at the Moose Lodge in Waite Park.

Fall Roundup
The Fall Roundup was started in 1983 and first held on St. Cloud State's campus. Later, it moved to the Holiday Inn in St. Cloud for many years. in the mid 1990's it was moved to the St. Cloud Convention Center.
This roundup was a 3-day event through 2014, beginning on Friday night with an AA speaker, several AA and Al-Anon speakers on Saturday and an AA speaker to close out the event on Sunday morning. An Ice Cream Social is held on Friday and Saturday night.
In 2015, the Roundup Committee changed the scheduling to a 2-day/Friday-Saturday event while still maintaining the same number of speakers. In 2018 we added an Al-Anon speaker to the Friday agenda along with Alateen Speakers preceding both Al-Anon sessions. Additionally, 3 new meetings were added on Saturday morning relating to Recovery, Unity and Service.
