The Sonoma County Alano Club
was formed to
"aid and assist persons to recover"
In
many ways the club is an open template for the recovery
community to shape and form for its own needs.
The direction of the club is decided on by its
board of
directors which is directed by its dues paying members once a
year and also by its members through monthly membership
meetings.
