Helping us Helping others
In October 1969, a group of men and women in recovery began the Washtenaw Alano Club as a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the Washtenaw County area. And it has continued to provide a safe and sober environment conducive to recovery from alcoholism and addiction for almost 46 years. It does this by providing meeting space and support services 365 days each year to over a dozen 12 step fellowships and other recovery-related groups. It is also a site for sober activities such as
- Annual Super Bowl Party
- Dances
- Bingo
- Karaoke
- Seminars
- SoberFest
- 3 Holiday Alkathons each year (staying open for 48 hours of round-the-clock meetings)
- Free Holiday Dinners ( 350 full dinners served during holidays in 2017)
- Big Book Weekend workshops (more than 220 attended in March 2014)
