Published on 2012-03-03

It is with much disappointment that the Board of Directors has decided to postpone the We Are Not Saints Comedy Show until early next year.  Unfortunately the state of the economy has made it very difficult for many people to afford the cost of $20.00 per ticket for a comedy show.

For those individuals who have already purchased a ticket, we will be refunding your $20.00 during the week of  March 5th.

In the meantime, we will host our movie night on Saturday, March 10th at 7pm.  The movie will be Rocky Horror Picture Show.   Cost will be $2.00 Non Member and Free to paid Members. We will be serving FREE popcorn. In addition, the Club will host its annual St, Patrick's Day Buffet at 2pm on Saturday, March 17th.  Sign up sheets are at the Club.

For anybody wanting to organize a bowling night, softball league, boating trip, Disneyland trip, please contact a Board Member or leave your name and phone number in the Chairman Mailbox located in the large meeting room.

Thanks for your commitment and continued support to the Atlantic Alano Club!

Welcome to the Atlantic Alano Club

Details

Published on 2011-08-27

The Atlantic Alano Club's purpose is to provide a place for any person seeking recovery to come as a safe haven, free from drugs and alcohol. We welcome all persons in recovery and hope to assist them in recovering from whatever their addiction may be.

Although primarily a gay and lesbian club, we welcome all persons in recovery and their friends, regardless of their sexual orientation.

Our primary purpose is to ensure a loving, nurturing environment providing opportunities for personal growth, development of fellowship, and increased community awareness of the Club and its commitment to personal recovery.

The Atlantic Alano Club board of directors, and its members, envision the Club reaching an ever widening geographical area, and becoming one of the major gay and lesbian centers for the recovery of alcohol and substance abuse in Southern California.
