Information for groups
Group checks are disbursed monthly via US mail or at regular board meetings only (the third Tuesday of each month). Currently, almost all groups have their monthly checks from Galano mailed directly to their Treasurer's home or business. It works great and we would like to see as many of the groups as possible on this program. If you would like to participate, please give the Treasurer a minimum of six months' worth of self addressed stamped envelopes. Please be aware that if you desire to continue to receive your check at the clubhouse, those checks will only be delivered in person on the day of the monthly Board meeting.

We like to stay current with our group contacts. Please drop a note in the safe from your group designating whom Galano should contact, if necessary. Please include: name, address, phone number, e-mail address and group position (GSR, Treasurer, etc). Thanks !!!!!

Meetings
In accordance with the guidelines set by Alcoholics Anonymous on clubhouses, (see the AA Guidelines), group meetings are not affiliated with the Galano Club except as tenants. The Galano Club does not subsidize the rent of any group that meets at the club. We do not wish to interfere with the 7th Tradition of AA, which states that every group should be self-supporting, declining outside contributions. No endorsement exists, and none should be implied nor inferred from the rental of the facilities.

In keeping with AA guidelines for clubs. Groups that sponsor meetings at Galano are not affiliated with the clubhouse except as tenants. Membership in The Galano Club is independent of membership in any of the various groups that use the club's facilities. If you are interested in starting a new 12-step meeting at the club, please see below. If you are interested in becoming a member of the club, see membership.

How To Start A Meeting at The Galano Club
A group representative attends a Galano Board meeting and requests time and meeting space. The Galano Board meetings are held on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 6:30 PM and all are welcome to attend. It is expected that you will have a pre-determined time and room in mind that is not in conflict with the present master schedule. The representative will be asked their full name for the minutes and name and purpose of the group. There is a 30-day waiting period before the Board votes on your request. You (or a representative) must be present for that vote to occur. No meetings may occur until the waiting period and favorable vote has occurred.

Rent
Each group passes the basket at each meeting. All monies collected are put into a provided “meeting envelope” and deposited after each meeting. A portion of the donations received by all groups meeting at the clubhouse will go into the treasury of the club. This is the rent each group pays for meeting space. A 25% portion is returned to each group. The Galano Club covers all required expenses for the operation of the facility. This includes but is not limited to payment of utilities, insurance, property maintenance, cleaning services, supplies, schedules, etc.
