The origins of this meeting are somewhat hazy
in the minds of the old-timers who still attend the meeting.Linda S. tells of the meeting starting at a deli in Pacific Palisades in the very early 1980’s.
She does remember that they were kicked out (for not tipping) around 1984 or early 1985.At that point, the meeting moved to a bank building at Webb Way Road and Pacific Coast Highway.
From then on it was called “Sunday Morning Malibu”. It was listed as a 10:30a meeting in the CA Los Angeles
Meeting Directory at least through 1990.According to Mort S. and Julie D. around 1993 the meeting was again looking for a new location.
The trusted servants at the meeting had always seen and talked about the Michael Landon Center at
Malibu Bluffs Park but thought that they would never let people “like us” in. At that time the secretary for the
meeting was a prominent attorney. He spoke to the Parks Commissioner and “voila” we got the room.Still a Step-Study meeting, we do a step a week and a tradition on the first Sunday of each month.
Despite several attempted “huge” rent increases, occasions where the meeting couldn’t get into the building,
or had to have the meeting in the janitor closet of the building, over the years the meeting has stayed at the
Michael Landon Center and grown. After the 2007 Malibu fires the Landon Center was used a a disaster relief
location and the meeting was forced to move down PCH to Club Soba Malibu for several weeks.
Occasionally the Parks Department rented the center out and we're forced to move back to Club Soba.Finally in the fall of 2016 Bluffs Park informed us that there would be several months of construction where
parking would be an issue. A group conscience was taken and the meeting moved permanently to Club Soba.From 10-20 people in the 90’s and into the 2000’s the meeting averaged 50 or more people although since the 2010's the meeting is back down to a small gathering.
