Our Story

THE GALANO CLUB HISTORY

From 1975 -1981 a small founding AA group of gay men and women, met at several churches, but had to meet in secret. In 1976, the AA group moved from Saint Peter and Paul Church in Decatur to a small space at All Saints Church on North Ave. The rector of All Saints allowed those first meetings on the provision that if the congregation ever found out and objected, the group would have to leave. As far as we know, no one objected. To attend those meetings, you had to know someone else who was gay and in AA. To gain access to a meeting on meeting nights, you had to pull a cord hanging from a second story window. The cord would ring a bell and someone would go to the door and if not recognized, were asked what they were there for, how and where they found the information about the meeting existence.

By March 1982, the AA group had grown to the point where they were able to form the nonprofit company The Galano Club, Inc. They were also able to lease their first building (a carriage house) behind the Raoul Mansion at 848 Peachtree Street (Across the street from the old Backstreet Atlanta Club)

In 1985, that building was sold and the club moved to 1475 Mecaslin Street, off Deering road behind the current Atlantic Station complex and rented an office building for the next four years.
