The church’s Social Services Department, of which Ernest Jacoby became first president, created a social club for men that met on Saturday nights in our basement. While non-alcoholics were welcome, its purpose was to help newly-abstinent clients of the church’s Social Service Department. Describiing itself as “a club for men to help themselves by helping other,” it eventually moved from our basement and continued into the 1930s as the Jacoby Club. The first meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous in Boston was held in 1940 at the Club, then at 115 Newbury Street. Papers of the Club are archived at the Mass. Historical Society.
