No cash in your pocket? The Seventh Tradition still goes around — right here.
Welcome
It's a fair description of what happens here on a Sunday morning.
We meet at 9am every Sunday at Manukau Cottage on Harman Street. Thirty to fifty of us most weeks, with a wide mix of sobriety in the room — from first meetings to decades of it.
Readings come from AA-approved literature, and everyone present is given the chance to share. We aim for a strong recovery message every week.
Newcomers are warmly welcomed and sponsorship is actively encouraged. If it's your first meeting, there's nothing you need to do or say — just come and sit down.
Every service position in the group is filled, and they rotate — that's how we keep the meeting healthy and how members find their way into service.
Our group conscience is well supported, with around ten members at every one. If you're a member here, that room is yours too.
Seventh Tradition
Every AA group is fully self-supporting through the voluntary contributions of its members. The basket that passes around the room pays the rent, buys the literature, and carries the message.
More of us live cashless now, and the basket has felt it. This is the same basket — one message, two platforms.
Which jar?
Slip a note in the bag
The Seventh Tradition means AA declines contributions from anyone who isn't a member. That's stricter than the basket in the room — so we ask you to confirm first.
Secure checkout by Stripe · a small card fee applies
Stripe handles payment on their secure page — no card details ever touch this website.
Contributions go straight to the Mahu group's bank account. This site stores nothing.
Stripe emails your receipt. Your statement shows the group name, nothing about AA.
What the group doesn't need for its own expenses is passed on to the wider AA service structure on a 60/30/10 basis, so the hand of AA stays available beyond this room.
The pink jar is a separate basket. It doesn't go through the 60/30/10 split — every dollar is passed on to TCF, so the message reaches people who can't get to a meeting.
Prefer the basket? It still goes around.
Next group conscience
The conscience is where the group makes its decisions — how we spend, what we read, who does what. Around ten of us are there every month.
If you're a member of this group, that room is yours. You don't need an invitation and you don't need to say a word — but your voice counts if you want to use it.
