The Suburban North Club Annual picnic is on 05Oct and we hope you will join us for some fried chicken, hot dogs, and fellowship, at Forest Park Shelter 5

SNC is providing the food and it will be ready for you by 1 PM. Would you bring a side dish or dessert to share? And bring a friend! We will have the dunk tank going again.

While you are there you can renew your membership. If you aren't already a member of the Club, you get a discount when you set up your membership at the picnic.

See you there!

At Suburban North Club we are committed to safe recovery for all. That even includes our parking lots!

On 25 August we are starting a maintenance project in the parking lot that will help ensure our parking is in tip top shape for years to come. This means there will be instances of limited parking and a bit more noise than normal. While we hope this will be minimal, we also hope that everyone can be patient with the process. The Club will remain open during its usual operating hours. The project is scheduled to be completed on 28 August.

This is being funded by some generous donors and we extend our gratitude for this support.

In service,
Kip

We have arrived at the start. It is a bit of a jumping off point, but this one feels exciting even if nerve wracking. Breakfast and then off we go 🥾

Weathet today will include rain and winds at about 15 mph. We will start our day at a damp 50 degrees Fahrenheit and it wont raise past 70. It will be mostly cloudy all day.

The journey from St Bees to Ennerdale bridge is about 14 miles and it should take us at least 7 hours. For those in the Noblesville area, this is the equivalent of walking from Suburban North Club to Wilson’s Farmer’s Market. We will grab some video and photos along the way.

We’re thrilled to share something big with you.

A few weeks ago, we announced that we are embarking on an extraordinary journey: a walk across England to raise funds for Steps for Recovery, benefiting the Suburban North Club. It’s a challenge that spans miles, countries, and hearts—and we’re inviting you to be part of it.

To celebrate this adventure and bring you along every step of the way, we’ve launched a blog: https://www.suburbannorthclub.org/steps-for-recovery -blog

Our first post is live! We’ve completed our training, and we’re ready to take on the English countryside. The blog will be our space to share stories, photos, and reflections—from the trail to the triumphs. We hope you will join us in each step along the way.

Your support means the world to us. Whether it’s an existing donation or one you are planning, a social media share, or a word of encouragement, every bit helps us move closer to our goal of supporting recovery and community.

Thank you for taking this journey with us—literally and figuratively.

With gratitude,
Jamie and Bill

Thanks to the incredible generosity of early supporters, we’ve reached 35% of our $18,200 goal for the Steps for Recovery campaign. That’s a huge step forward—but we still need your help to go the distance. If you have already pledged, would you consider forwarding this opportunity to other possible supporters?

This fundraiser is more than symbolic. It’s essential. In addition to keeping the lights on and the coffee brewing at Suburban North Club, your donations will help cover unplanned expenses including:

$250 for plumbing repairs in the men’s bathroom
$1,000 to fix a broken window
$500 to replace a dead tree in the parking lot island
These are the kinds of costs that get covered in order to keep our space safe, welcoming, and open for everyone seeking recovery.

Here’s what’s ahead:

Pledges Due: June 23 (so we can order your thank-you shirts!)
We travel to England: June 24
The Walk begins: June 26
182 miles to hit our goal of $18,200
The Walk concludes: July 11
Donations Due: July 19
Thank-You Gifts Distributed: Week of July 21
Every mile we walk is powered by your support. Let’s keep moving forward—together.

A couple of weeks ago, we shared our dream: to walk 182 miles across England to raise $18,200 for Suburban North Club—$100 for every mile. This journey is about more than just steps; it’s about sustaining a space where recovery happens every single day.

We’re deeply grateful to those who’ve already pledged. Thanks to their generosity, we’ve reached 25% of our goal. But we still have a long way to go—and we need your help to get there.

Here’s what’s ahead:

Pledges Due: June 23 (this date allows us to order donor thank you shirts)
We Travel to England: June 24
The Walk Begins: June 26
The Walk Concludes: July 11
Donations Due: July 19
Thank-You Gifts Distributed: Week of July 21

Every dollar you give helps keep the lights on, the coffee brewing, and the doors open for the next person seeking hope. Your support directly funds the essential operations that make recovery possible at SNC.

Ready to walk with us in spirit?
Make your pledge today and help us reach our goal, one mile at a time.
