Alano Society looking for home
By RENE BELL Staff Reporter
Netted away above a furniture store in downtown Lawrence is a club that City Commissioner Barkley Clark once referred to as a very valuable community service.
After June 15, that very valuable service, the Alano Society, will no longer have a home. The Alano Society is a help center for people with alcohol-related problems.
In its seven-seam clubhouse above Thompson Furniture, Inc., *945 Massachusetts St.*, the society gives out information, serves as a referral service for education and offers a place for recovering alcoholics to relax and talk to one another.
According to John See, club manager, one to five people call each day seeking help or counseling and between 30 and 50 people use the Alano facilities on an average day.
THE CLUBHOUSE, with its battered couches, dull orange rug and card tables.
During the evenings, the club houses meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous, Alanson and Akatee. The meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday, meaning that anyone is welcome to attend.
"offers a place for people with drinking problems to go to stay sober," See said.
See said about 125 people a year go through the programs associated with Alano. At least one in ten of these is from the University community.
The Alano Society, started about five or six years ago, is similar to societies in other major towns. Before the club was formed, groups had meetings, but no 24-hour facility met.
There are several advantages of having the club facility. See said. Most importantly, it provides a place for people with alcohol-related problems to go or call 24 hours a day.
THE CLUB also solicits funds, which AA is not allowed to do. See also stressed that the group is self-supporting.
The rooms that the club now occupies have been sold by the First United Methodist Church to Thompson Furniture.
Self-support will not solve Alano's housing problem.
The evacuation date for the Alano Society has been set for June 13. That leaves 58 days for the club to find a home.
In its first attempt to find a new structure, Alamo requested the use of the old Bert Nash building. The architect said that request possibly hit a dead end at the Lawrence City Commission meeting
She said that Clark, City Manager Buford Watson and Assistant City Manager Mike Wilden were sympathetic to the causes of this incident. The City Manager shied away from discussing the subject.
SINCE THE fate of the Bert Nash house is currently in question, the commissioners said they could not make a definite commitment to Alano.
One suggestion made was that Alano
consider moving to the 1956 wing of the Lawrence Memorial Hospital which is currently being renovated.
A major problem with this is that the hospital won't be ready for several months, probably not until after the first of the year, to author Mayer Ed Carter.
Another problem with the hospital is its institutional quality, See said. Many Alamo members would feel as if they were in an uncomfortable or uncomfortable in the hospital environment.
The Women of Sigma Kappa would like to thank the following Lawrence merchants for helping us win the money event for sororities in the Sigma Phi Epsilon—Kappa Alpha Theta Superstars competition. Donations from these merchants went to the Douglas County Association of Retarded Citizens.
Where does all of this leave Alano? Conceivably, 58 days away from the streets.

"We could all go out, get drunk and wind up in the city jail. Then we'd become a financial burden to the city." See said jokingly.
See and other members of Alano are hoping a solution will surface and they haven't given up on the Bert Nash house.
See said the club would be willing to pay a small rent for the house and work to improve it.
