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.

     On Wednesday, December 16 reported to the district Office to perform some updated work with the district computer installing the computer printer and office maintenance.  Also, organized folders in the archive file cabinet involving financial, local AA Meeting registration forms, etc.
     On Monday, December 28 was at district office for updating webmaster report and attending the monthly GSR meeting at 6:00 p.m.

     The District 17 Office has _150_ meeting cards in drawer.
     The 0900 AA Hotline registered _86_ calls from Nov 9 to Dec 28 including 8 calls with option #8 and 33 calls with no option pressed.
     The District website recorded _238_ hits this past month with the counter at 11,668 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.
