Pinnings Calendar
What is a GA Pinning? A GA Pinning is a special Gamblers Anonymous meeting where a celebration of the Gamblers Anonymous program takes place and the acknowledgement of abstinence for its members. Pinnings are held to acknowledge member's first year of abstinence, fifth year, and increments of 5 years after that. Service pins are presented to the GA member which are purchased from the Gamblers Anonymous International Service Office. (I.S.O.)
For planning/scheduling upcoming pinning please contact your intergroup representative.
To correct any pinning information on this website page please contact info@gachicago.org
All Pinning celebrations are OPEN unless noted, meaning anyone can attend, family, friends, etc.
An "In Room" pinning is closed to anyone outside of Gamblers Anonymous.
If you would like to visit Gamblers Anonymous and have a desire to stop gambling,
you are welcome at all GA Pinning celebrations and meetings.
