Our Progress
Please consider joining us in our efforts to open the doors of the South Island Alano Club. In exchange for your donation, your business will be recognized on our social media and promotion materials and as a local business contributor to the 100 South Island Businesses for Recovery and proud supporter of the South Island Alano Club (if desired).
The South Island Alano Club is a registered society in BC with a Board of Directors comprised of members in recovery. We are not yet a registered charity and therefore are unable to issue tax receipts at this time.
