A Brief History The Pathfinders Alano Club was established in 1964 by a group of
sober alcoholics at 258 S. Oxford St.(near Western & Third), next door to the Masonic Temple. They rented a two
story house from the York Masons and started a clubhouse which was known for its friendly atmosphere, good meetings and engaging
conversations in the front room and around the kitchen table. Many recovering alcoholics attribute their sobriety to
those early days on Oxford Street and recollect the club with fondness and warmth.
In the winter
of 1982, Pathfinders moved to our present location in Atwater Village where we have been an important sobriety station
for many newly recovering alcoholics in the area. During this time the membership decided to open our doors to
other 12 Step programs and since then we have been the home of numerous 12 Step meetings.
Pathfinders
continues to create a safe and friendly environment for the alcoholic/addict in recovery and the newcomer who is finding their
way to a clean and sober life. We hope that each and every one who enters through our doors will find in here
a place to call home.
