NABA Club Membership Policy

A  Regular Member is defined as a member who has applied and been accepted  for membership to the Club, has paid for and received a key, and pays their dues in full on a monthly  basis.

  • To apply for Regular Membership, you must have 30 consecutive days of sobriety.
  • Upon joining the Club, a Regular member will pay a non-refundable $5.00 key deposit when receiving their key.
  • Dues are owed and payable on the first day of each month.  Current dues are $25 per person, $30 per married couple, $15 for an Al-Anon member, $15 for an Out of Town member, and $10 for an Out of Town Al-Anon member.
  • Regular members will be held accountable for adherence to the published House and Ground Rules of the Club.
  • After ninety days of non-payment of dues, your account is considered overdue and your membership will be dropped shortly thereafter, and your Club key will be returned to the Club.
  • If you allow your dues to accumulate to $75, then the full amount of $75 must be paid in order to retain membership.  At that point, no partial payments will be accepted.
