About Us
Welcome to the Westside Club
The West Side Club of Georgetown, Inc., is a private non-profit organization formed to provide a space where 12 step groups can meet. Whether you are afflicted by alcoholism or addiction, or if you are coping with a loved one who is suffering, you have a place to go for recovery. The club is an educational center and meeting place for 12 step groups, and a fun, positive social environment for those seeking recovery.
West Side Club provides space for a variety of meetings, provides literature, serves as a resource hub for recovery, and organizes social and fundraising events. Although several AA 12 step groups hold their meetings here, and the club recognizes and subscribes to the principles and traditions of AA, we are recovery-inclusive. Our community and House Committee welcomes outreach from any type of 12 Step group (NA, OA, CA, Al-anon, GA, SLAA, etc.) to start meetings and use the space available.
Meetings are currently held seven days a week. The club also provides space for recovery-related workshops and seminars. Our location in the heart of Georgetown includes four meeting rooms and a coffee and snack vending space that make the club ideal facility for recovery groups. The Westside Club also sponsors several annual events to foster community and fun in recovery. Major events include the annual New Years Eve Party, Talent Show, Founders Day Dinner, Thanksgiving Day dinner and Christmas Day dinner. Picnics are held on Summer holidays. In addition to these events, special meetings are scheduled on federal holidays.
Founded in 1981, the Westside Club has been a home for recovery and has played a vital role in the community for 26 years. Meetings, service, recovery, fun, and fellowship have changed the lives of many for the better. Providing a safe, positive environment to facilitate the recovery of those afflicted with addiction — and the loved ones who are affected by the disease — brings us tremendous satisfaction and remains our primary purpose and motivation.
