Club-hoppers searching for an alternative to the same old scene now have Club Alive!, a chemical-free dance/social club opening Saturday.Club Alive! is aimed toward couples and relationship-oriented singles who are spiritual.Co-founders Ed Gel and Bruce Wagner hope the word “spiritual” and the fact that Club Alive! is held in a church does not mislead the public.”There’s all kinds of people (involved with the club) – Christians, Jews, Buddhists,” said Gel, a Worthington chiropractor. “It’s just a bunch of people coming together for a good time.”Club Alive! sprang from the concept of Friends of Unity, a local social organization based out of Unity Church. Since October, Gel and Wagner have been working to put Club Alive! together. As a non-profit organization, Club Alive! will be run entirely by volunteers. Building materials, audio and video equipment, lighting and labor have all been donated.The large assembly hall, where the club will be on the first and third Saturdays of each month, provides a 60×60 ft. dance space along with numerous quiet rooms. Club-goers are invited to converse in the quiet rooms, where each room carries a different theme, such as the Pillow Room or the Cyber Room. Perhaps the most unique aspect of Club Alive! is that it holds a chemical-free policy. Instead of alcohol, a variety of sodas, fruit smoothies and bottled waters will be offered to club attendees. Smoking will also be prohibited in the club but there will be designated smoking areas outside.”Club Alive! is an alternative for people,” Gel said. “It is a safe haven for those who are in recovery or those who just aren’t into the bar scene.”As for the music, Club Alive! will offer a wide variety of music that will please every generation. Early in the evenings the club will play oldies and eventually work through disco to modern dance classics in the early morning hours.”We want to be open to a diverse crowd,” Wagner said. “It doesn’t matter if people are gay, straight, black or white.” The grand opening festivities of Club Alive! will be in the assembly hall of Northminster Presbyterian Church, 203 King Ave. It will begin at 8 p.m. with a live concert featuring vocalist Jo Ellen Harris-Stearns and pianist Jack Widner. Admission is $4 at the door.
