We have a member willing to help set up online meetings through an App called ZOOM...below is her message: This is Joanna and I attend meetings regularly but can’t due to the virus. I can set up a Zoom site for a day and a time for the alano club and we can have meeting by everyone downloading the ZOOM APP. Then logging in to the zoom number the leader of the meeting gets, then room leader checks each person in. It’s supper easy and doesn’t cost a thing. If you’re interes...ted please contact Joanna via her email ... [email protected] and she is happy to help you through the process. Please stay safe, keep in contact with your sponsor, other sober members and stay close to God!!!

***IMPORTANT PLEASE READ*** After much thought and seeing what is happening at other Alano clubs and with the news we are bombarded with (including laws and regulations which are fast changing) it is with much sadness that we call for the shutdown of the Torrance-Lomita Alano Club, until further notice!
