My name is Brandi Clanton, and I am the Executive Director of Recovery Services Unlimited, where I've been providing outpatient substance use disorder treatment, recovery coaching, and recovery housing services since 2017. As a Licensed Master Level Social Worker (LMSW) and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC), I am deeply passionate about the recovery community, particularly because I have been in recovery myself since 2016. My personal journey fuels my dedication to helping others navigate their recovery, and I bring that commitment to my role as President of the Board of Directors at the Alano Club of Battle Creek. I recently married my best friend, who is also in recovery, and together we are devoted to supporting our community.

My name is Fred Evans, and I am proud to be a lifetime member of the Alano Club, where I have had the privilege of serving on various board committees and as a board member both in the past and present. My involvement with the Club is deeply meaningful to me, as it allows me to give back to the community that has supported me throughout my journey. One of the highlights of my time with the Alano Club was serving as the construction manager during the reconstruction of our building as part of the Capital Campaign through the Community Foundation. It was a rewarding experience to contribute to a project that ensures our facilities can continue to support those in recovery for years to come. I have been blessed with 29 years in recovery, and throughout that time, I have had the honor of sponsoring and mentoring many men who are new to recovery. It has been incredibly fulfilling to guide others on their path to sobriety and to witness the positive changes in their lives.
