Webmaster/Coordinator Report:
On Monday, November 29 was at the
district office to update the 0900 AA hotline making the message quicker for
all people to grasp the menu. Also, because of the possible controversy of
having Al-Anon meetings on the website and the listing on the 0900 hotline
with members of Area 74, the Al-Anon meetings were not included in this
update and were scratched off the website meeting link. The Al-Anon meetings
are listed on the meeting cards.
On Wednesday, December 15 was
at the district office to update and add the monthly district newsletter and
update the traveling intergroup link.
On Monday, December 28 reported to
the Daily News office to update meeting list for news paper. Because of the
fact there has been no contact from Iron River Al-Anon group, I eliminated
their listing. At the district office collected the updates for monthly
meeting.
The District 17 Office has
__1,400__meeting cards in drawer.
The 0900 AA Hotline _59_hits,
including _6__calls w/no option pressed. This also included 15 calls
from one phone # between Dec 8 to Dec 26
The District website __61__hits
the past month. email to: dcm@district17a74.org).
On Jan 1 as 0900 coordinator the
switch will be made for the next quarterly option #8 contact listing with
Nancy H # taking over for Libby. The other 3 are Cliff W, Don L, and Steve
S.
As a regular monthly reminder, I must
train people (female/male) the operation as coordinator of the 0900 AA
Hotline and as webmaster of the district website. If interested in getting
involved with being webmaster or coordinator for 0900 AA Hotline please call
Cliff W at 906-779-0915, contact a District 17 committee member, or show up
at the monthly GSR district meeting the last Tuesday of each month at 6:30

have it Manistique because they have the room to accommodate they workshop.
