About Us
The Alano Club of Knoxville, Tennessee, Inc. is recognized as a 501(c)(3) organization. Its mission is to support and promote recovery from substance use disorders within the Knoxville metropolitan area. Founded by a group of recovering Alcoholics Anonymous members, the Alano Club was created to ensure a sustainable space for meetings and peer support. The founding members sought to provide a safe, consistent environment for future generations, offering the same support they received in their early recovery. The club’s original meeting facility was located in the historic Knoxville Park National Bank Building, known as "The Flatiron" from which our current facility takes its name.

Our New Building
To honor our predecessor, we continue to use “The Flatiron” name for our meeting facility. The Alano Club has been renting facilities since its inception and we have had to move four times and are currently renting a building we call “The Flatiron V."
The Flatiron started in 1959 and the recovery community has kept it running by paying rent and covering all operating costs from members' donations. For the first time in our history, we are in the process of seeking funds from individuals, institutions, and foundations to help us build a new Flatiron Building so we can establish a permanent home for this and future generations seeking recovery for substance use disorders. We are deeply grateful to the University of Tennessee College of Architecture + Design in helping us design a concept building.
