A new feature for the online version of the 'today'.

As of this edition, references to meeting which are also in our database, are now linked to the map service used to provide maps for the meeting pages. This uses technology borrowed from our meeting lists.

Linking to a map transfers RhodeIsland-AA.org to a non-affiliated web site. Return to the 'today' web page with your browser's back button.
To obtain a map, click on the colored link. When your work with the map is completed, click your browsers back button to return to RhodeIsland-AA.org.
