WHY IS THIS NECESSARY?
Put simply, Serenity House of Buford, Inc. (SHOBI) works to provide to AA and Al-Anon groups what they cannot provide themselves.
Most meetings are held in churches, hospitals, treatment centers, and the like. Under long-standing traditions, individual groups cannot own buildings or meeting halls. This allows them to avoid the problems and controversies that too often arise from property ownership.
Clubhouses, such as ours, are formed because many members want to have their "own space" to meet, enjoy between-meeting fellowship and hold celebrations. As previously stated, an AA or Al-Anon group cannot provide itself such facilities, but a separate club can.
The groups pay rent to SHOBI, covering a portion of the cost of clubhouse operations. In a way, SHOBI is the "landlord" and the groups we support are the "tenants", although their relationship far exceeds this example. SHOBI focuses on materials needs, freeing the groups and their members to concentrate solely on their primary purpose: recovery from alcoholism (or, in the case of Al-Anon, recovery from the effects of alcoholism).
