The Objectives of this corporation shall be:

(a) To provide a location with a homelike atmosphere where alcoholics in all stages of recovery can support and encourage each other toward greater spritual growth.

(b) To provide the safety of a residential-like setting for newly sober alcoholics that they may experience the healing spirit of the fellowship.

(c) To provide the continuing opportunity to practice the principles of recovery for all persons with the disease of alcoholism.

TRADITIONS:

This corporation is completely independent of any other corporation, organization, group, or fellowship. Recognizing that past expeerience is important, and as a result of the experiences of the members of this corporation, the following thirteen Traditions are established and are to be obeyed by this corporation in its pursuit of the above-mentioned objectives.  These Traditions are:

1.  Our common welfare should come first; recovery depends upon our unity.

2.  For our House purpose there is but one ultimate authority --- a loving God as He may express Himself in our House conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.

3.   The only requirement for House membership is a desire to stop drinking and abusing other substances.

4. The House should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or A.A. as a whole.

5.  The House has but one primary purpose-to carry its message to the alcoholic who still suffers.

6.  The House ought never endorse, finance or lend the House name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.

7. The House ought to be fully self-supporting, however other contributions may be accepted if approved.

8. The House  should remain forever nonprofessional, but our House may employ special workers.

9.  The House, as such, ought never be organized; but we may create service committees directly responsible to those they serve.

10.  The House has no opinion on outside issues; hence the A.A. name ought never be drawn into public controversy.

11.  Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio and films.

12.  Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.

13.  The ideas of House services should be deeply rooted in and be guided by the "Twelve Concepts of World Service" and adopted by the General Service Conference of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Our Six Step House runs on the voluntary efforts of its registered members and members of Alcoholics Anonymous.

There are many jobs and chores that can and need to be done in and around our Six Step House.

While a trusted servant resides on the property to maintain and watch over it, there are plenty of areas and opportunities where volunteer service is both needed and appreciated.

If you do have special or unique skills that you feel could benefit the house, our membership or the AA's we serve please let us know what those might be.  Those of us without those special skills are needed just as much to support the maintenance of our house and the events we host or sponsor. 

Your House Committee would appreciate hearing from you. Please, simply fill out the contact form below and someone from the committee will respond to you shortly.
