We have a new director at The 24 Hour Club and a new outlook! http://dallas24hourclub.org/2010/03/i-am-your-new-director-at-the-24-hour-club/ http://dallas24hourclub.org/2010/03/i-am-your-new-director-at-the-24-hour-club/#comments Tue, 23 Mar 2010 21:19:26 +0000 Director http://dallas24hourclub.org/?p=76 Thank you for visiting our web-site! We have been around for over 40 years helping others obtain sobriety and become successful again! I am the new Director of The Dallas 24 Hour Club and I wanted you to know that I am here to serve,…to answer any questions you may have and also try to solve any problems. We have great daily meetings in our facility located at 4636 Ross Avenue, just east of the new Arts District and close to Fitzhugh avenue. Our revamped “steak night” is also a hit every Friday evening with live music on the front lawn and other very fun things going on here.  Come visit and also follow us on WWW.FACEBOOK.COM to see fun pics and quotes!    (all the people and pictures featured do not violate any privacy issues and were approved beforehand, we are well aware of the traditions of AA and the anonymous factor, the internet is a new tool for sobriety, public awareness and our mission) 

Read who we are and what we do and our mission. This place works, we save lives and get people up and running again in society. Miracles are going on here everyday, it is cool to see it all unfold everyday. Call us or come by and visit or even send us a letter.

When I came to the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous, I didn’t believe that what they said was true. I came to the 24 Hour Club with apprehension and I quickly found that I was surrounded by people just like me. I turned my will (Thoughts) and life (Actions) over to a power greater than myself, and I started trusting people in the program with multiple years. For me the 24 hour club was my sanctuary. I grew up thinking things had to be a certain way; I learned that my thoughts and actions have to be conducive to my higher powers will for me. How I discover that purpose in part was when I lived at the 24, sponsors said “trust GOD”, “clean house”, and “help others”, so I did. Today I still attend meetings, volunteer my time, and support the 24 Hour Club.

Thanks

Patricia Stingly, D24HC Alumni

2. Fundraising from grass roots to grants to food donations

3. Chairman for The Friends of 24, our service organization

4. Restaurant General Manager to assist/oversee and set direction and policy for the D24HC Cafe’
