I'm not talking about a non profit group. I'm talking about an AA group. Our Sixth Tradition reads; Problems of money, property and authority may easily divert us from our primary spiritual aim. We...

Umm...I thought I was clear. WE (the club - not AA, put AA out of that equation) own the building. AA groups rent a room on certain nights to hold meetings there. This is really pretty basic in terms...

Kenny, in the case of your Intergroup situation, I don't see why a group of people, who happen to be members of AA, can't form a partnership to purchase real estate, and then rent that real estate to...

Kenny, I feel like you are trying real hard to find something negative about this. I believe you're drawing conclusions based on what you think I'm saying rather than what I am. This is what I said....

OK, I just think you are not understanding that an oragnization that is NOT connected to AA has no need to have group conscience meetings. The club I am referring to is not held to the traditions...

Mary, Thanks for explaining. I had heard that term, but we don't use it here, so I wasn't sure if they were the same as the clubs we have or some other kind of thing. I suspected what you said, but...

Yep... definitely OH (greater Columbus area) and aware of several sober clubs in town. The one that came to mind with your post would be out west. I lived out west, not far from such location between...

Yep - that's it. They still do the alcathon every year! A lot of people really look forward to that! The old evening meeting closed, but they started a new one on Fridays at 10pm, I cannot remember...

Although we don't have clubs around here, our Intergroup office hosts Alcathons around the clock during the holidays.

I think it is nice when people offer the recovery community those alcathons. I know I had a couple girls last year who really hung out at the one we had - pretty much the whole time. It can be a hard...

We don't have a club here in Ottawa, Canada. When I first got sober, the Medallion Club was right across the parking lot from the church where my home group meets. Over time, though, and as a result...
