NOW ALL WE NEED IS THE CANDY! 🤣🍬

We're reaching out to our amazing Barry County community to see if anyone would be willing to donate a bag or two of Halloween candy to help us keep this tradition going!

Barry County Serenity Club needs a little help from our amazing community! ❤️

Halloween snuck up on us this year, and we're hoping to keep our tradition going of handing out candy to the kids in our community!

🍬 If you have some extra candy or would like to donate a bag or two, it would be greatly appreciated!

We're also looking for someone willing to volunteer a little time to help pass it out!

I know this is last-minute, but I've seen this community come together and do some amazing things over the years!

❤️ Even a little help can make a big difference!

Please comment below if you can help, and feel free to share this post to help spread the word!

Thank you, Barry County, for always supporting the Serenity Club and our community!

🎃👻 HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM THE BARRY COUNTY SERENITY CLUB! 👻🎃
Good morning, everybody!
Well, I have to admit, this one slipped right past me! 🤦‍♂️🤣
Normally, every Halloween, we have someone at the club handing out candy to the kids, and in years past, we've received some amazing donations from our community during Halloween.
Unfortunately, with my brain going eight different directions, juggling four different projects, working on another grant for the club, and just dealing with life in general, Halloween completely snuck up on me!
This one's on me, folks!
So here's my question:
🍬 Would anyone be interested in volunteering to hand out candy at the club tonight?
We don't currently have candy available, but I'm sure we could pull together some donations if we have someone willing to be there.
For all I know, somebody might already have something planned! Sometimes things get organized without me knowing, especially since I'm no longer living in the area.
Trying to coordinate everything from a distance can be challenging, and that's exactly why we need more people involved and helping keep things moving forward.
❤️ If anyone is interested in volunteering, donating candy, or knows of something already planned, please comment below!
📢 NOW, ONE MORE IMPORTANT REMINDER!
THIS SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1ST!
🗳️ Board nominations are due by 7 PM!
📋 Our meeting is also Sunday!
If you're interested in helping shape the future of the Barry County Serenity Club, now is the time to get involved!
We've got a lot of work ahead of us, and I can't do it alone. This club belongs to the members and the community, and it takes all of us working together to keep it going strong.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support the club, volunteer their time, and help others in recovery.
🎃 HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYBODY!
Stay safe, enjoy your weekend, and remember:
WE RECOVER TOGETHER! ❤️

🚨🚨🚨 ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION! 🚨🚨🚨

⚠️ FLASHING LIGHTS! WARNING SIGNS! IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! ⚠️

🤣🤣 Okay, now that I've got your attention, let's talk about a little thing called RESPECT!

☀️ GOOD MORNING FROM THE BARRY COUNTY SERENITY CLUB!

Alright, fellas, listen up! 👂😂

👩 TONIGHT AT 5:00 PM IS THE WOMEN'S MEETING! 👩

Now, before anybody gets their underwear in a bunch, THIS IS NOT A NEW RULE! 🚫📋

It's simply a request from yours truly,

Recovery has taught us a lot of things, and one of those things is learning to respect other people's space.

So here's my thought...

How about us men give the ladies a little breathing room?

I'm talking about 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after their meeting. Let them come in, fellowship, have their meeting, and head out without having to navigate through a bunch of us knuckleheads! 🤣

Let's face it, folks. I've sat in meetings all over Michigan and across this country, and sometimes the number of men compared to women is downright staggering!

👏 SO HATS OFF TO THE LADIES IN RECOVERY! ❤️

You deserve your own time, your own space, and the opportunity to fellowship comfortably.

🚨 NOW HERE'S THE IMPORTANT PART! 🚨

THIS DOES NOT MEAN MEN ARE NOT ALLOWED AT THE CLUB DURING THAT TIME!

If you're struggling, your sobriety is hanging by a thread, or you just need somebody to talk to, GET YOUR BUTT TO THE CLUB!

I don't care what time it is!

Recovery comes FIRST, and I'm pretty darn sure those ladies would be the first ones to reach out a helping hand! ❤️

I'm simply asking our members AND non-members to show a little courtesy.

Nobody's being banned. Nobody's making another rule. And nobody's getting their hand slapped for walking through the door! 😂

It's called RESPECT, folks! And it doesn't cost a damn thing!

Sometimes recovery isn't about what we say in a meeting. It's about how we treat each other OUTSIDE of one!

❤️ LET'S GIVE THE LADIES THEIR SPACE AND SHOW THEM SOME LOVE!

Thank you, everyone!

✌️ Rollin' Roy

🎉🚨 **SOME GREAT NEWS FROM THE BARRY COUNTY SERENITY CLUB!** 🚨🎉

❤️ **OVER 200 PEOPLE HELPED IN JUST ONE WEEK!** ❤️

That's right! Our FREE Clothing Den, located downstairs at the Barry County Serenity Club, has helped over 200 people in just one week!

Let that sink in for a minute. That's over 200 people who were able to come in and get clothing they needed without spending a dime.

**No price tags. No judgment. No questions asked. Just people helping people.**

As many of you know, the Barry County Serenity Club is currently going through a restructuring process. Part of that process is beginning to track some of the things we're doing so we can better understand the impact we're making in our community.

And here's something I really want to point out.

**THOSE 200+ PEOPLE ARE JUST THE NUMBERS FROM OUR BASEMENT CLOTHING DEN!**

That doesn't include the people coming through our upstairs doors for recovery meetings, fellowship, support, and all the other things happening at the club.

So the actual number of people we're reaching is even greater!

I wanted to give a **SPECIAL SHOUT-OUT TO OUR CLOTHING DEN VOLUNTEERS!** ❤️

You folks are doing something pretty incredible down there, and I don't want your hard work going unnoticed. The time, energy, and love you put into helping others is making a difference, and now we're beginning to see just how big that difference really is!

This is what community is supposed to look like. People coming together, donating what they can, volunteering their time, and making a difference in the lives of others.

The Barry County Serenity Club has always been about more than just recovery meetings. It's about being of service, giving back, and showing people that somebody cares.

I want to give a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has donated clothing, volunteered their time, helped organize the basement, or supported this project in any way.

**You are the reason this is possible!**

And we're not done yet! We're going to keep doing what we can to help our neighbors and our community.

If you have clothing you'd like to donate, or you're someone who could use a little help, please reach out.

Sometimes changing someone's day doesn't cost a penny. It just takes somebody willing to care.

❤️ **OVER 200 PEOPLE IN ONE WEEK, JUST THROUGH OUR CLOTHING DEN! IMAGINE THE IMPACT WHEN WE START COUNTING EVERYTHING ELSE WE DO!**

That's something worth celebrating, and something worth building on!

**Barry County Serenity Club — Recovery, Community, and People Helping People.**

🚨🚨🚨 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨🚨🚨

BARRY COUNTY SERENITY CLUB

As many of you know, the Barry County Serenity Club is currently going through some restructuring. As we work toward strengthening the club and making it a better place for everyone, there are a few things we'd like to address.

🔹 FIRST — MEETING RESPONSIBILITIES

If you're responsible for chairing a meeting and cannot make it, please arrange for someone else to step in or notify others in your group so someone can.

Last night someone came to the club for the first time and found no meeting being chaired. Another person was present and was just as surprised that no one had stepped up.

That's something we never want to see.

We never know what someone is going through when they walk through those doors. That meeting might be the one thing they've been holding on to all day. It might even be the difference between picking up or staying clean.

🔹 SECOND — CLUB MEMBERSHIP & TV ROOM

With the recent door code change, we'd also like to remind folks about club membership and the use of our facilities.

If you're regularly spending time at the club, hanging out before or after meetings, we encourage you to become a member and help support the club.

When meetings are happening, the TV room should be limited to guests of those attending meetings or special circumstances.

If you're there because you're in recovery and a meeting is taking place, we'd much rather see you sitting in that meeting than watching TV.

You never know what you might hear that could help you or someone else.

🔹 THIRD — STEPPING UP WHEN NEEDED

Chairing a meeting isn't complicated. There are step-by-step formats and readings available that walk you through the entire process.

Of course, we prefer people with some sobriety to take that role whenever possible.

But if someone walks through our doors looking for recovery, we want them to find recovery, not an empty chair while others sit in another room.

❤️ THIS ISN'T ABOUT BLAME. IT'S ABOUT RESPONSIBILITY.

It's about all of us taking responsibility for the place we call our recovery home.

We can't always be everything to everybody, but we can make sure we're there for somebody when they need us.

The Barry County Serenity Club exists to provide a safe, welcoming place for people seeking recovery, fellowship, and hope.

Every single person who walks through those doors matters.

We never know whether someone is walking into their first meeting, coming back after a relapse, or simply struggling to make it through another day.

Let's make sure that when someone reaches out for help, there's a hand there to grab.

Thank you to everyone who shows up, chairs meetings, volunteers, and helps keep our doors open.

We only keep what we have by giving it away.

🙏 Barry County Serenity Club

So its not like I don't have enough projects going on this is something I've been working on and who better than my peeps to check it out . Please share inputs that will help with the recovery process. It's a free app.

One short thought for every day of the year, each in its own style. Read it with your coffee, say it out loud, carry it with you.
