Clubhouse and 12 Step Groups

The East Side Alano Club of Madison, Inc. (ESAC) is a not for profit 501(c)(3) corporation. It is located at 1017 Northport Drive, Madison, WI, 53704. ESAC is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of four officers and four directors at large.  Directors are elected annually for one year terms. It is financially supported by donations from members of ESAC, meetings of Twelve Step groups (see below), grants, and fundraising efforts.

ESAC’s mission is to maintain facilities for meetings and social gatherings for recovering alcoholics and people of other 12-step programs, their families and friends. ESAC provides five meeting rooms, three of which are wheelchair accessible.  Over 20 meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous, Al-Anon and Heroin Anonymous are held weekly. Social events are sponsored nearly every month.

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for AA membership is a desire to stop drinking.

Al-Anon is a fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics who share their experience, strength, and hope in order to solve their common problems. They believe alcoholism is a family illness and that changed attitudes can aid recovery.  Al-Anon has but one purpose: to help families of alcoholics. They do this by practicing the Twelve Steps, by welcoming and giving comfort to families of alcoholics, and by giving understanding and encouragement to the alcoholic.  Al-Anon meetings provide financial donations to the ESAC for use of meeting space.

Heroin Anonymous (HA) is a fellowship of men and women who have found a better way of life, free from heroin addiction. Their fellowship is based on a twelve-step program of recovery—and if persons wish to join,  they are here to share what they have found. There are no dues or fees for membership; the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop suffering from heroin addiction. They are available to assist the next person seeking help with their own addiction. Heroin Anonymous meetings provide financial support to the ESAC for the use of meeting space.
