The Orient Group owes its existence to Hurricane Gloria in 1985. A longtime A.A.,M.L., was in danger of being flooded out of her waterfront home and sought refuge at the local Congregational Church's parsonage. While waiting out the storm, she told her pastor of her history. He pleaded with her to start an A.A. meeting in the church.
First meeting of the Orient group in November 1985
