Webmaster Report:
Have continued being active to keep
the district 17 website updated as well as the website at Hostek Web Host
site for District 17. This has been performed in my home office.
Happy to report that the local AA Hotline 0900 has been active. In
keeping Hostek Web Host updated involves checking periodically the email
room and keeping inbox clean. Hostek has made changes that effects
software used by Webmaster no longer allowing extensions for use of
Microsoft Front Page and must now find other means in making changes on
website.
On Monday, May 18 reported to
district office for updates including option #9 of the AA Hotline 0900 and
discovered that office computer needs for webmaster to change password. Was
able to bypass changes as webmaster doesn’t use any password. Attended
the monthly GSR meeting at 6 pm.
The District 17 Office has _400_meeting cards in drawer.
The 0900 AA Hotline registered 18 calls including 3 calls
with option #8.
The District website recorded_100_hits this past month with
a new web counter set at 10,229 total hits.
Any member of the fellowship with sobriety can become a
contact on the option #8 contact listing for a 3-month period. This
listing should periodically be updated, especially for those who are about
to take a 3-month turn with their listing on option #8.
As a regular monthly reminder, must train people
(female/male) the operation as coordinator of the 0900 AA Hotline and as
webmaster of the district website. Anyone interested in getting
involved with being webmaster or coordinator for 0900 AA Hotline please
contact a District 17 committee member, or show up at the monthly GSR
district meeting the last Monday of each month at 6 p.m. at District 17
Office at Alano Club Iron Mountain.
Living my life 1-day at a time,
Cliff W.
