With a focus on improving how we respond to people in our community impacted by neurodivergence and houselessness, we’ll learn about how to implement neuro-accessible communication practices. Through these skills, we will see how implementing accessibility in our daily lives can improve our capacity to respond to houselessness in our community.

Each session will focus on a topic or intersecting field, opening the floor to share about the parts of sobriety that get left out of recovery meetings. To kick things off, Hailey and her panelists will dive into the thing you’re not supposed to do, but everyone does: dating.

Plates for the People is a series of free, monthly cooking classes for people in or seeking recovery, led by Chef Patrick McKee (Estes).
Plates for the people began in 2019, when the Alano Club of Portland and the Portland chapter of Ben’s Friends partnered with Cookshop and some of the country’s best chefs—including Gregory Gourdet, Tommy Habetz, Patrick McKee, Marcus Oliver, Gabriel Rucker and more—to bring the recovery community free, accessible classes where students learn about budgeting, meal planning, and how to cooking delicious, healthy dinners they can repurpose for multiple meals to feed themselves and others. Each class begins with the visiting chef sharing about their own journey with cooking and recovery, and concludes with the chef and students sharing a meal, and their stories, with each other.

That’s why we are thrilled to partner with Clear Clinic to offer this monthly free legal services and expungement clinic, where all services are offered free of charge.

Community Reading Series
In partnership with Tin House, The Alano Club Community Reading Series is a monthly open-mic for writers of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and hybrid genres, generously hosted by Portland’s premier queer-owned and operated bookstore, Bishop & Wilde.

While readers are not required to self-identify as being in recovery, we will maintain a sober-friendly environment for all sessions. We encourage readers of all experience levels to sign up for a guaranteed reading slot of 10 minutes or less, though two slots per session are reserved for first-time readers!
