Quotes and Facts
Al-Anon/Alateen Groups can be started by anyone. Al-Anon and Alateen members, ministers, doctors, social workers, or AA members can initiate the formation of an Al-Anon/Alateen group. However, after the group has started, members operate the group. Professional or AA participation should be limited to open meetings. Check out Al-Anon resources online. |

Located in the heart of Georgetown, the Westside Club is a facility providing space primarily for meetings of 12-Step recovery programs, including Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA). Other 12-Step groups are welcome to start meetings and use the space available. Meetings are currently held seven days a week. The club also provides space for recovery related workshops and seminars. The space includes three meeting rooms, a separate smoking room, snack bar, restroom facilities and a pay phone.
The Westside Club was founded in 1981, and has been a home for recovery in Georgetown for 26 years. In addition to providing space for meetings, the Westside Club sponsors a number of annual events. Major events include the annual New Years Eve Party, Talent Show and Founders Day Dinner. Dinner is also served at the club on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Picnics are held on all Summer holidays. In addition to these events, special meetings are scheduled on major holidays.
Statement of Purpose
The West Side Club of Georgetown, Inc., is a private non-profit organization formed to provide a space where groups devoted primarily to the recovery of alcoholics and drug addicts, plus other family groups that relate to the illness of alcoholism and drug addiction, can meet; a place where people with drinking and drug problems can be helped; an educational center for alcoholics, problem drinkers, and drug addicts; and a social environment for recovering alcoholics and drug addicts. In addition, the Club is open to meetings of other 12-Step groups that agree to abide by the rules of anonymity of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). The Club and its membership recognize and, as far as possible, subscribe to the principles of the fellowship of AA. The Club shall undertake such activities as are approved by its House Committee, the scope of which shall include the education of recovering alcoholics and drug addicts through literature, meetings, and other activities.
