About the FOTS Mid-Atlantic Conference

The Fellowship of the Spirit Mid-Atlantic Conference was started as the result of the experience of an AA member living in Richmond, VA, who attended the annual Colorado Fellowship of the Spirit Conference.

The first FOTS Mid-Atlantic Conference was held in May 2005, with 200+ attendees, in Natural Bridge, Virginia. The second annual FOTSMA conference, on June 2-4, 2006, was also in Natural Bridge. After a diligent search and incorporating the experience gained in our first two conferences, we settled on the Richmond, Virginia, area for the third annual FOTSMA conference, on Memorial Day weekend, May 25-27, 2007. We love the venue, and held our fourth, fifth and sixth conferences at The Crossings.

The sixth Fellowship of the Spirit Mid-Atlantic Conference was held Memorial Day Weekend, 2010.

The Fellowship of the Spirit Mid-Atlantic Conference is in hiatus for 2011, after putting on five Memorial Day weekend events that were spectacular but not fully self-supporting. That does not mean we won't be putting on FOTSMA events that you should not miss throughout the year.

Our first event is a Three Legacies Workshop on February 25-26, 2011 in the Richmond, Virginia suburb of Bon Air with our good friends from North Carolina Tom I. and Steve M.

For those who have already made plans to travel to Richmond for Memorial Day weekend, we guarantee that you won't be disappointed. Stay tuned for an announcement soon!
