The Koala Club was established in 1984 to offer meetings for AA, Al-Anon and other self help groups after having difficulties while renting meeting spaces elsewhere. The word Koala is thought to have meant “no drink” in one of the Australian Aboriginal languages. Koalas have been alleged to never drink free water in the wild, or to drink only occasionally. A few committed and industrious founding
members bought a metal building, leased the land from Bossier City and got to work building the club as we now see it. We salute the founders and are grateful for their dedication and try to honor their memory by keeping their legacy moving forward. Come and join us. Koala Club Rules
