Notes from the Director

Director — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 21:19:26 +0000

Thank you for visiting our web-site! 2010 was a successful year of change, we achieved all our goals and are now stable. We doubled the resident census, we are helping so many get thier lives back on track. GOD or the :”higher power” took care of us through an anonymous donor as well. That was exciting. We are somewhat safe for now, financially. Somewhat,…actually we have a little breathing room now and that is a good feeling. Remember we have been around for over 45 years helping others obtain sobriety and become successful again! I am the 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. You can beat this alcoholism thing and we can help! 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 “$9.98 steak night” will return in the Spring. See it in the Dallas Morning News weekend GUIDE. 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, public awareness is required to continue 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. Our sobriety success rates are about 60% with good and positive move-outs every month. Miracles are going on here everyday, it is cool to see it all unfold everyday. Call us or come by and visit!

Gratitude from a D24HC Alumnus

Michael — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:17:20 +0000

From Patricia Stingly:

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

You Can Help Our Fundraising Efforts

Michael — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 23:11:19 +0000

If you have skills fundraising and are willing to help please email director@dallas24hourclub.org

PayPal is used daily and also helps for quick cash donations! We will get government grants after another year of audited financials. We have two years now, nobody gets grants unless they have good, clean and accounted books due to the financial meltdowns last year. The rules are now VERY strict, but we will comply as in past years. Call us for more information.
