What is TRAC?

The Rock Alano Club, also known as TRAC is a non profit organization formed for the public
benefit to create an environment for the recovering alcoholic to stay sober. We are opening a
club  in Morro Bay, Ca. and need your support now. As a grass root organization we
depend on new membership and community donations to open.
                                          What Will It Be Like?

We will have a meeting room available to Alcoholics Anonymous
     and other related 12 step meetings.
The space is also available for education and community
             outreach seminars and for continuing education units.
Members will enjoy a small lounge area for socializing, watching TV or
                       DVD’s, playing games, listening to the radio, reading (a small library of
                       recovery material will be available), Wi-Fi (we plan on having one computer
                        available for use and rental) and meeting new friends.
We will have a kitchenette with snacks, sodas, water and coffee available to
members and non-members.
We also will have a small recovery store with related items for sale.
Books, Literature, Speaker CD’s, Sobriety Chips/Medallions, Jewelry,
Stickers, Clothing and Craft projects will all be available at very
reasonably cost.
We will be holding several community fundraising events
throughout the year. Possible events being considered are BBQ’s,
community yard sales, Softball tournament, ocean fishing trips,
whale watching, movie nights……..

                                                             well you get the idea..........
Who covers the cost?

Memberships are available for daily,
weekly, monthly and yearly rates to
members of Alcoholics Anonymous and
their families. The meeting room is
available for rent to AA groups, other
12 step groups, community use and a
seminar room for CEU’s. There will not
be much income from the store; it is
primarily a resource for our members.
We also will be seeking community
donations and grants.
Who will work here?

We currently will have no paid staff.
We depend on volunteers to man the
club during business hours.
TRAC will be overseen by an
elected Board of Directors
that will not be compensated
.

Your Neighbors, Family and Friends need them!!!!
Alano Club Facts:

What is an Alano Club?

Alano clubs are not for profit corporations dedicated to help the recovering alcoholic. They usually have meeting
rooms, some kind of food service, recreational activities, libraries, and resources for the alcoholic to help with their
recovery. Some Alano clubs may have a small store to purchase recovery literature and other items sought out by
those in 12 step programs.  The recovering alcoholic will find a safe place to be with others in recovery when not in
meetings. Often there are resources for finding jobs, housing or just a few new friends. Alano clubs have lounges to
watch T.V., read, play a game, use computers, make a few phone calls or meet with people to assist with their
transportation needs.

How does an Alano Club work?

Alano clubs exist through membership dues, rental of meeting room(s), community grants and fund raising activities.
An active membership requires membership in Alcoholics Anonymous or a direct relation to a member of Alcoholic
Anonymous. There’re usually are no paid employees although some clubs do hire a paid manager. As a not for profit
corporation, Alano clubs may accept donations from other businesses or individuals.  Alano clubs are not affiliated
with Alcoholics Anonymous but do adhere to the AA 12 steps. Alano clubs often will rent meeting room(s) to AA and
other 12-step programs and will carry literature and information for them. This makes Alano clubs a great
community resource to help all those in need. Meeting room(s) are available for seminars to those working in the
recovery field and for public educational and outreach meetings.

How can you help?

If you are a member of Alcoholics Anonymous please join. Dues are usually very reasonable.  If you have a few years
in sobriety, remember what it was like when you first started to try and stay sober. The newcomers and those with
but a little time really need your help, you may not need this resource but your neighbors do.
If you are a community business person or leader, please donate annually.
Alano clubs also often need furniture, TV’s, books, games, office supplies and even vehicles or other items they may
sell. Alano clubs are non-profit and therefore your donation is tax deductible.
