the Triangle Club, Inc. except as tenants. No endorsement exists, and none should be implied, nor inferred from the rental
of the facilities. Membership in the Triangle Club, Inc. is independent of membership in any of the various organizations
that use the club's facilities for their meetings.

| We do not interfere with the 7th Tradition of AA, which states that
every group should be self-supporting, declining outside contributions. The Guidelines further advises groups "this
includes paying a fair rent for use of the facilities, maintaining a separate treasury, and making its own contributions
directly to the local central/intergroup office, the district, the area general service committee, and to G.S.O".
