Building Upkeep is Needed Soon!

Dear Alano Club Members:

On behalf of the Board of Directors and Steering Committee of Hi-Desert Fellowship, Inc. (which owns the Alano Club), I am reaching out to ask for your help.  

The Alano Club building needs some work and repairs.  The entire exterior of the building needs to be painted along with some stucco repair and possible replacement/repair of fascia boards that have rotted.  The west facing wall also has water damage that needs to be addressed.  We have gotten bids for this work and the estimated cost is $5,000.  

The Board of Directors of Hi-Desert Fellowship, Inc., has given the Steering Committee (which is responsible for operating and maintaining the Alano Club building), approval to move ahead with this work once we have raised the funds necessary to complete it.

We have started a fundraising campaign for the painting and repairs.  We’re hopeful that you’ll consider donating to Hi-Desert Fellowship, Inc. for this purpose.  

The Alano Club provides a place for 19 meetings per week.  Hundreds of AA and Al-Anon members from the Morongo Basin and beyond attend these meetings on a regular basis.  In order to provide a pleasant and inviting location for these meetings, we need your financial support for this campaign.  We’ll keep all funds that we receive as donations for this work separate from other funds and donations that we receive and we’ll only spend donations received in response to this request for the painting and repairs to the Alano Club building.   

The Hi-Desert Fellowship, Inc. is a California non-profit organization under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)3.  What that means is that your donation to this campaign is 100% tax deductible.  The Hi-Desert Fellowship’s Tax ID number is 95-3131729.

To contribute, please mail a check or money order to Hi-Desert Fellowship, Inc., P.O. Box 1285, Yucca Valley, CA  92284 or place your contribution in a green envelope that you’ll find at the Alano Club and put that in the safe.  

We hope that you’ll prayerfully consider donating to this important cause.  We greatly appreciate your generosity.

Thank you,

Steering Committee Chairperson
