Free Screening: My Name is Bill W.
April 25 @ 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm
This inspirational and enduring 1989 drama (100 min.) is the true and powerful tale of the compassion, courage, and collaboration that launched a global movement in the 1930s that continues to save lives. It depicts the gripping story of longtime Katonah residents and humanitarians – Bill Wilson, Alcoholics Anonymous Cofounder, and Lois Wilson, Al-Anon Family Groups Cofounder – and other 12-Step recovery pioneers who turned their despair into a modern response to addiction recovery and mutual aid. The occasion also commemorates Al-Anon’s 75th year since its 1951 founding in Katonah.
Remarks / Q&A with: Stepping Stones’ Larry Borchert, Advisor, Sally Corbett-Turco, Executive Director, & Sharon Wolff, CA, Deputy Director for Archive & Collection.
Exhibit: Selections from Stepping Stones’ “Bill & Bernadette Borchert Collection” will be on view.
