dAAve,
I understand how this can be very disturbing… but it actually has been approved and made use of for quite some time now, years.
Find a PICPC rep in your area and see if they have a copy of their guidelines book from GSO. That book used to have copies of all these ads in it.

OK, thanks Mark. I trust your knowledge on this one. I am not familiar with PICPC. What does that stand for?
Public Information
Cooperation With the Professional Community
AA reaches out to the public and to Doctors etc. offering information about AA and giving out meeting lists and so on… speaking, things like that.
It is a VERY interesting commitment! – to be a PI chairperson or rep.
