Help stop the sale of the Jim James Memorial 101 Club
The Issue
The Jim James Memorial 101 Club in Valley Center, Kansas is more than just a property; it embodies hope, healing, and second chances for countless individuals and families within the recovery community. For years, this non-profit haven has served as a lifeline, offering a safe space for individuals on their recovery journey, their loved ones, and anyone seeking solace. Since its donation to the community, the Club has been steeped in purpose—an unwavering beacon of hope and a place where lives are transformed and renewed.
However, this sanctuary now faces an imminent threat. Behind closed doors, the board members have decided to sell this treasured property quietly, seeking personal gain. The sale, set for October 6th, has been shrouded in secrecy, leaving those who rely on and cherish the Club in shock and disbelief. It’s a betrayal to the very purpose for which Jim James Memorial was established.
The potential consequences of this sale are catastrophic. Not only does it threaten to strip away a unique refuge for the recovery community, but there are also larger ecological concerns at play. Rumors suggest that the land may be transformed into a data facility, a development that would deplete the already strained water resources of Sedgwick County and disrupt our delicate ecosystem.
It's vital to act now. This petition isn't simply a plea to halt a real estate transaction; it’s a call to protect a legacy—a space that has been a cornerstone for unprecedented recovery and support. Losing the Club would mean dismantling a crucial pillar of our community, leaving a void that may never be filled again.
We need your voices and signatures to urge the board to reconsider this decision and explore alternatives that respect the Club's original mission. Please join us in advocating for transparency, community dialogue, and the preservation of this irreplaceable resource.
