Who We Are & What We Do

Mission

In partnership with 12-Steppers, Inc. our Mission is to provide a centralized, safe, dignified and permanent Alano Clubhouse for all different types of 12-Step Meetings, Recovery Education and Sober Comradery.  It will also be available to host Sober gatherings and celebrations and have an array of 12-Step Literature and Tokens, etc.

Vision

Ultimately, we envision an entire Sober Community that will include long-term LGBT2SP+ Senior Sober Living for those who identify as Women and Women Vets either on top of the Alano Club or adjacent to on the property. This property must be owned as renting/leasing long term is untenable for specialized Non-Profits. Whether the City has an unused parcel that we can build upon in the Uptown vicinity or a even a building would be Amazing, as would a Private Citizen Property Donation. However,  if we have to Fund-raise ever dime to purchase our own property, that is the Ultimate Goal and Absolute Necessity!
