"The year 1967 sees the creation of
Switzerland's first General Service Office, when the Gremium (German for
"committee") begins serving German-speaking A.A.s.
The country's first known group was French-speaking, however, taking
shape in 1956 when an alcoholic in Geneva learned of Alcoholics
Anonymous at a lecture, obtained A.A. literature, and arranged a
meeting with friends. The first known German-speaking group in
Switzerland was launched in 1963 in Lucerne. The first known
Italian-speaking group will be formed in the canton of Tessin in 1974.
In 1979 another G.S.O., serving French and Italian Switzerland, will
open in Geneva."
