Alano.ONLINE - Your 12-step group's FREE online clubhouse!
12-step groups: Stop throwing money away!
Use of Zoom meetings is FREE for 12-step groups. Alano.ONLINE is supported only by voluntary donations from people who attend those group meetings.
What you get:
- A Zoom meeting room for your group, with host privileges to appoint co-hosts and control security settings.
What you need:
- An e-mail address and phone number to register the meeting.
- A listing in a 12-step group directory to confirm the meeting.
How it works:
- Read the rules.
- Sign up.
- You list your meeting in your program's meeting directory. You give out the meeting info link to alano.online. This protects access to the meeting password, which we automatically change weekly to prevent Zoom bombing. (Example: meeting info link.)
- We confirm your 12 step group details through the world service office, intergroup, or district office of your program. It must be listed within two weeks of signup.
- If you no longer participate in that meeting, you must appoint a new group contact who will log in and take over administration.
- The meeting will be automatically started one minute before the start time.
- You log into our password-protected website to get the current host key, so you can claim host permission in the meeting. You can assign co-hosts to other volunteers to help manage the meeting.
- Please mention the virtual clubhouse as your meeting host in your announcements, and post the link for donations in chat. Think of being in an physical Alano Club that has a donation jar on the coffee counter for the facility itself. Meetings in Alano Clubs typically suggest donations to the host facility.
Secondary aids to A.A., such as clubs or hospitals which require much property or administration, ought to be incorporated and so set apart that, if necessary, they can be freely discarded by the groups…. Their management should be the sole responsibility of those people who financially support them.
