posted that article from the Tampa Times,It was a recoveryhouse that had NA meetings, No we haven't had no 1 torch a clubhouse/church/ recoveryhouse , theirs 5 Aleno Clubs in the Metro Detroit Area ,3 of them have guards patroling the parking lot & property .& 3 of them look like MC Clubs in the summertime .

In 90-95 ? memorys shot We got tossed from a church ,some crackhead who wasn't even a part of the fellowship, snuck into the meeting & hid out until after We closed up, then proceded to raid the joint, all the gold challaces ,crosses & the bells, the pastor informed the treasure & we were notified @ the next meeting ,Pastor pleaded no questions asked just return the bells , I guess they parish saved for over 7 yrs $20,000 had them flown to the Vatican & blessed by the Pope , a week later the cops collered the perp , Dummy took the Bells to the Paw shop & gave his own ID as proof of ownership , We were cleared of all wrong doing ,but Were still asked to vacate .........

We got tossed recientlly in Ferndale the church on wed looked like A Bar @ Bikeweek in Daytona .......the parking lot had over 50 bikes lined up every Wed & The neighbors complained as the crack of throttled Harleys leaving in unison put a few pacemakers on overtime .

Oh n the shooting in Detroit on the east side 2 1/2 yrs ago ,Some jealous fool ,seen his x girlfriend doing the Bump with another Man @ a dance & commenced to shootin, 4 were hit, the x & I belive an inocent bystander were the 2 that died .

Last count 3 yrs ago ,Bumanni the Regional chair did a workshop @ DACNA ,'Violence in Recovery' & over 150 incidents have been reported .............. 88 I Witnesed a guy slip into the meeting @ the Downriver Aleno Club walk up on his girlfriend & slit her throut from ear to ear . A meeting is only as strong as it's worst bad link ,1 ass can effect the whole AREA for months ...................

ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO, I READ A STORY ABOUT AN NA CLUBHOUSE THAT WAS BURGLARIZED AND BURNED DOWN SOMEWHERE IN TEXAS..................HAS ANY OF YOUR AREA HAD THIS PROBLEM ?ARE WE A REAL THREAT TO DEALERS IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE YOU HAVE MEETINGS ?HAS YOUR FELLOWSHIP BEEN ASKED TO MOVE BECAUSE OF THE BURLY LOOKING ELEMENT THAT ATTENDS YOUR MEETINGS ?

> We haven't had a problem,,,,,,, however, three years ago this one church asked us to move. They wanted more rent and we just didn't have that kind of rent. They wanted a dollar for every person that came to the meeting. Yea right!! The real reason is that this nun that lived in the rectory, lived alone. She was afraid of us, I am sure. However, in asking for the dollar per person, she said the reason was because,,,,"you people have some nice rides out there". Yup,,,,,,,, beat up cars,,,,,, a lot of motercyles...... loud, noisy bikes,,,,,,, very noisy bikes, big time. But, we don't have "nice" rides. geezzzzzzzzzz

As far as I understand Clubhouses come under the word promotion,they are against our traditions as far as aI know.Plus look at the bad problems you talk about in your article.That is like feeding all the addicts to come to your meeting,half will be there for free food,not recovery.
