    --


WHEN:  Thursday, November 16, 1999, 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

WHAT:  Escorted by yellow AAA tow trucks, AAA managers are delivering
       13,600 pounds of frozen turkeys to eight non-profit service
       organizations throughout the Bay Area on Thursday. The turkeys 
       will then be prepared into meals served to nearly 16,000 Bay 
       Area residents on Thanksgiving Day.

WHY:   The fourth annual Thanksgiving turkey delivery project is part 
       of AAA's Road to Caring, an ongoing effort to help meet the 
       needs of our communities during the holiday season. This 
       Thursday, AAA is delivering nearly 25,000 pounds, or 13 tons, 
       of Thanksgiving turkeys, which will serve 32,000 people at 18 
       charities in 14 cities throughout Northern California, Nevada
       and Utah.
