Stu Alderman is the Executive Director of the Grosse Pointe Neighborhood Club.
 
The Neighborhood Club was formed in 1911 as a service organization.  From its beginning, it has focused on recreation and wellness for the community.  Its mission, as a non-profit, is to provide a professionally organized program of recreation and wellness services for families and individuals of all ages. The Neighborhood Club is a leader in developing cooperative, coordinated plans and programs with other public, private and voluntary agencies that provide recreation and wellness services.
 
The building more than doubled in size to over 48,000 square feet in 2013 at a cost of $10.6 million.  A loan of $7 million was needed and Mr. Alderman is proud to report that about $3.5 million remains to be paid.  Beaumont Health System leases 25% of this space.
 
Having a membership provides access to a fitness center, over 60 group exercise classes, a pool (with aquatic classes), a gym, and discounted fees toward its many youth and adult sports leagues.  The Neighborhood Club also has a preschool and runs a thrift shop at University and Mack.
