The Spokane Alano Club has been supporting people in recovery since 1945,
Our primary purpose is to provide a safe place for 12 step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Al-anon, Al-Ateen, Sex Anonymous, Gambers Anonymous to have meetings and learn to enjoy life sober.
Our heritage
Back in 1945 Curt S., who had enjoyed AA meetings in Minneapolis, came to Spokane and found none here. Feeling the need for a group, he put an ad in the newspaper. The Davenport Hotel donated a meeting room and the first 12 Step Recovery meeting was held in Spokane WA.
That was a long time ago. Today AA and The Alano Club are separate organizations due to the 12 Traditions of AA. However, they still work hand in hand to bring hope and a healthy lifestyle into many lives.
With ample parking and room for events and meetings, the Alano Club also has a Cafe, Expresso Bar, Game Room, and outdoor gas BBQ grill on the patio. All 12 Step Recovery programs are welcome here.
