To JABA Members:
 
Here at JABA, our goal is to provide the best possible environment for the suffering alcoholic to recover from this fatal illness.
Whether living on the property, attending an AA meeting or one of our many events; the safety and wellbeing of our members, friends and family continue to be our #1 priority.
As we experienced, 2020 was an unprecedented and challenging year. The COVID pandemic created a “new normal” for all of us with social distancing requirements. 
JABA continues to ensure that precautions are taken to protect the residents and those that attend AA meetings. Masks are required, temperatures continue to be taken and there are hand sanitizing stations throughout the property.
In addition to the safety precautions, we also want to ensure the JABA Club is maintained so that we have a place for many years to come. The Executive Director and the Board of Directors, along with your gracious help, have taken many steps this year to preserve the legacy of the JABA Club. 
 
A few of the successful accomplishments in 2020:

  • tree service (voted on by the members in 2019)
  • vinyl fence surrounding the property
  • parking lot regrading
  • playground installed
  • New hot water heater at rear duplex
  • New lift station
  • New septic tank and drain field at rear duplex
  • Repaint of interior of main clubhouse
  • (3) Covid cleanings
  • New chairs and tables in meeting hall
  • Landscaping adjacent to new fence
  • Lighting outside trailer area
  • New LED light at main parking lot
  • Pressure washing of building and sidewalks
  • Roll-up door at storage shed
  • Plumbing repairs at front house
  • Memorial wall
  • Curtains at main meeting hall
  • Serenity garden
  • Main bathroom remodel with big book applied to wall. 
 
As we look into 2021, our main focus will be centered around the new halfway house being built.
We are currently in the design phase, more to come as plans are finalized. We will need the help of everyone interested in JABA’s future.
