Alcoholics Anonymous (A. A.) Meetings in Catalina Island (Avalon), California 

Meeting Makers Make It ... but they need to know where the meetings are!

This online listing of A. A. meetings is put together from many sources, including local and central office meeting directories, the listings of local clubs and community resources, and direct information from the groups and members involved.

    It is offered as a free service to anybody who can use it, and is unaffiliated with any official bodies – or with any organization at all, for that matter.

    As with all we do in A. A., we rely on each other for meeting information. Where something is especially important to clear up, we have added a little pop-up note [Help!] to alert our visitors and ask for your help. In many cases (" ... Please advise on the status of this meeting") this may be a last attempt to make sure that a meeting is gone, before removing it from the lists, so informations is especially important.

    Please let us know – s.i.meetings@gmail.com – of any corrections, additions, subtractions and suggestions you may have – so that, together, we can let those who need us know where to find us.

   Notes

— Unless specified as “Closed”, all meetings are open to anyone with an interest in recovery from alcoholism.
    — “Closed” meetings are only for those who themselves have “a desire to stop drinking.”
    — Unless indicated otherwise, meetings are one hour in length.
    — You may generally assume that there is no smoking in the meetings.
    — The © symbol next to an address indicates that it is wheelchair-accessible.
    — To make finding the meetings easier, and out of respect for our hosts, we try to fully identify the locations in which we meet.
    — Where we do have to shorten names, we apologize. E.g., while all Methodists are in fact “United”,
         the extra word often doesn't fit well in the lines.
    — We have included Maps for each meeting, with pop-up Thomas Guide coordinates, where available.
    — Meeting formats, if not in the group name, are shown separately. Where none is specified, assume open discussion/participation.
    — If only the format is known, the space for a group name is left blank.
    — If there really is no A. A. group, however, it is not really an A. A. meeting at all. Please advise!
    — Genuine A. A. meetings, and the groups that hold them, should never be affiliated in any way with any locations
         in which they are held, whether they be hospitals, schools, clubs, treatment or community centers, etc.

Meeting information for Avalon//Catalina Island, all seemingly at 230 Metropole Ave. (the 'Avalon Alano Club'), seems highly variable, perhaps on a seasonal basis, and certainly depending on the source. There are numerous differences between the schedules posted at the club and those of the Orange County, Harbor Area and All South Bay offices, which also differ considerably from each other.

   We follow the club schedule here, "effective April 5th, 2010" but updated as of August, 2011, as confirmed by ameeting attendee (8/9/11), and a photocopy of the current schedule. A listing is also said to be available at (310) 510-2545, listed variously as 'Avalon Intergroup' and 'Alcoholics Anonymous.'

   At the same time, two groups listed (with contacts) in our A. A. Western US Directory do not yet seem to have their meetings listed anywhere. Any information about the  Catalina Island Group  (Tues., Thurs., Sat.) and/or the  Grupo Nuevo Despertar de Avalon  (Sun.) will be appreciated.

I am responsible . . .
When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help,
I want the hand of A.A. always to be there.
And for that . . . I am responsible.
