If you’re ready to bring a meeting to the Suburban North Alano Club, we make the process simple. Whether you’re starting a new group or moving an existing one, here’s everything you need to get your meeting off the ground.
Decide what kind of meeting you want to host (AA, NA, CoDA, etc.)
Check the current club calendar and choose a time slot that’s available.
Email the Board with your name, meeting type, proposed day and time, expected attendance, and whether this is a new or existing group.
Once your request is accepted, you’ll meet briefly with a board representative to go over guidelines and expectations.
As such, the squad and/or its leadership must attend the council meetings, host the general membership meeting periodically, signup and renew club membership applications and manage pledges and donations to the alano club itself, which is outside of AA.
All rooms are the same price: $60 a month, subject to change.
Small groups can ask for a deduction. If renting a large room, groups are allowed to split up into the other rooms as space is available.

Running a meeting doesn’t require perfection. Just consistency, care, and willingness. Here’s what the club asks from every meeting’s leadership team:
Leaders arrive 10–15 minutes before the meeting to unlock the room, set up chairs, and ensure the space feels welcoming.
Each meeting type has its own format. Leaders are expected to follow the established structure of AA, NA, Al-Anon, CoDA, etc.
Meetings are self-supporting. Leaders ensure donations are gathered and delivered through the club’s normal process.
Turn off lights, take out trash, wipe tables, reset chairs, and leave the room as you found it.
Leaders help create a calm, listening-focused space where everyone feels respected, regardless of where they are in their recovery.
If anything comes up — maintenance issues, supply needs, building access questions — leaders should reach out to the Board or Squad Council.
The Squad Council meets the first Wednesday of every month at 7pm. The Squad Council ensures communication from the Board to members of the club, allowing needs or issues to be resolved, and a stronger community system.
Each squad hosts our Wednesday night Speaker Meeting once a month, including: choosing speakers, bringing treats, helping with setup and cleanup
It’s a simple way to strengthen the whole club.
