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.  The New Hope Group of Iron Mountain has coffee stored in district office for correction chairs.

     On Friday, Oct 28 was at District office as I received no answer from the 0900 AA Hotline.  With unexplained reason the EZVoice software used for Hotline has become inoperative.  I spent time with letting the office computer perform updates requested and a restart.  A warning flash states computer hard drive is low of memory.  I performed complete cleanup of files and discovered their were duplicate files that could not be deleted.  

     On Monday, November 7 at District Office for further updates for webmaster report and attended GSR monthly meeting at 6 p.m.
     The District 17 Office has _350_ meeting cards in drawer.
     The 0900 AA Hotline registered _39_ calls in the past month   including _6_ calls with option 8 and _14_ calls with no option pressed as of 11-07-16.
     The District website recorded _351_ hits in the past month with the counter at 15,257 total hits as of 11-07-16.


    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.

When anyone anywhere reaches out I want the hand of AA always to be there and for that I am responsible.
