**Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs**

If I come to AA, 12-step or Al-Anon meetings does this along make me a ‘Member of the Club?”

No. You are a member of the 12-step group you are attending; you belong to the Elgin Alano Club only if you apply for membership & pay dues.

- What is an Alano Club Membership? Because AA, 12-step and Al-Anon traditions keep us from engaging in business or owning property, the Alano Club is a separate entity, a non-profit corporation registered with the Illinois Secretary of State. Club members make dues and/or donations as a contribution towards the operating budget of the club, over and above the contributions he/she makes at group meetings when the basket is passed.

- How do I become a Member? An application is submitted to the Club and/or online. If you meet the minimum requirements, please complete the form and place it in an envelope with cash or check (payable to ‘Elgin Alano Club’) and submit into the office Safe slot or give to a club Board Member. If others in my household and/or family attend meetings and want to join the club, does each of them pay separate dues? The may if they are able. However, a pair of related AA’s and/or Al-Anon (husband & wife, two life partners, or a parent & adult child) have have a Family Membership as a discounted rate with two keys.

- Why is Membership Important? Membership dues are essential to meeting the income needed for our operating budget. Our traditions require that we be self-supporting. Rents from AA, 12-step and Al-Anon group meetings do not cover all the costs of running the Elgin Alano Club.

- Must I pay Alano Club dues to come to AA, 12-step or Al-Anon meetings? No. You are ALWAYS welcome at meetings for which you meet the groups’ qualifications. However, membership IS required for meeting chairs (open/close) and voting at the Club’s annual business meeting. Service on our Club Board is limited to dues-paying members whom meet certain sobriety requirements. Weekly Meeting Schedule - https://elginalanoclub.com/meetings/

Important Update: Elgin’s Fourth of July Celebration at Festival Park Canceled Due to Weather

Due to the heavy rain and predicted thunderstorms this evening, the City of Elgin has made the difficult decision to cancel tonight’s Fourth of July celebration at Festival Park. This includes the concert, fireworks display and all planned activities.

City staff has been closely monitoring conditions throughout the day and waited until it was absolutely necessary to make the decision. Unfortunately, the weather has delayed event setup and created safety concerns for attendees, staff and event partners. The celebration will not be rescheduled.

VIP ticket holders will receive a full refund. Additional information about the refund process will be shared as soon as it becomes available.

We know many residents and visitors were looking forward to gathering for tonight’s celebration, especially as our community joins the nation in marking America’s 250th birthday. We appreciate your understanding as we prioritize the safety of attendees, staff and event partners.
