This journey started with my youngest son returning to Louisiana in 2016. He had found the clubhouse model in Miami, FL., which is an accredited clubhouse of Clubhouse International. They searched the website and found out that there wasn’t a clubhouse in the state of Louisiana. My son’s idea then was to just start one. I gave him the job of finding out who we needed to speak with to find out how to go about doing that the right way.
