Statement of Anonymity

“Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion. We need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio and film.” 

We respectfully ask that AA speakers and members not be photographed, videotaped or identified by full name on audio tapes or in published or broadcast reports or meetings, including those on the internet. The assurance of anonymity is essential in our effort to help other problem drinkers who wish to share our recovery program.  A tradition of anonymity reminds us to that AA principals come before personalities.

A further note on anonymity: Out of respect for others, please do not take photographs during the meetings. Also, be considerate when taking photographs around the meeting venues. Take care that you do not capture images of AA members, family members and friends who did not give permission and may not wish to appear in your pictures. Please do not post recognizable photos of identifiable AA members on web sites accessible to the public, including unrestricted pages on social networking sites.

We would love to hear from you, come on by or give us a call for more information 818-242-1350.

 


History


Alanon of Glendale, Inc. was incorporated in October of 1953. Originally located in small quarters on Central Avenue, the Club rapidly became a home away from home for many of Glendale’s recovering alcoholics. By 1969 the Central Avenue facilities were too small, and the club moved to 225 North Maryland Avenue.

In 1975, it became evident that the Club’s growth had again surpassed the size of its facilities, and a search begun for new space. The members authorized the purchase of land and the subsequent engagement of an architect to design facilities to suit the special needs of the Club.

The present property was obtained, plans were completed, and construction commenced in 1976; in 1977, the Club moved and opened the doors of the present facility.
