Hi There,

So good to see you.

That fire, is there a Plan to rebuild???

Looks so similar to a fire at The Alano Club in San Rafael, many years ago, so I can relate to how everyone is probably feeling, their "home" was distroyed in a fire.

In San Rafael, it was the Central part of the county, and had hundreds of folks that were left "homeless", (without a Homegroup), so we got together and decided to start from scratch and rebuild, it took about 9 months, and all the work, at least 90% of it was done with recovering alcoholics donating the materials and the labor.

Hope so much that this Clubhouse might be able to be restored too.

What a tremendous loss. That was your main Meeting place, right?

A Big Hug and Welcome Back Home, you sure have been missed!!!!

Toni

How awful!! I am sure it has been a shock, Doll. I hope you guys all find an alternate meeting place soon, and I am hoping no one got hurt. That is humbling, it could happen to any of us, our homes even. So sad. I am sure that place has lots of memories.

Take care, and hope you guys get to rebuild or relocate soon!

Joni

Our Board meets tomorrow to discuss things.


I heard we had more insurance than what we thought so rebuilding will be done. We have lots of contractors, painters, builders, etc & everyone is jumping in!


In the meantime my church has donated the dining hall to keep meetings going.


Will definatley keep you all posted.


((hugs))

Did the fire marshal publish the findings of his investigation into the cause yet?
