Webmaster Report: 10-27-14
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.
During the month Alano Club Kathy M and assistance cut two panels out of the district office door and installed vents to let in warm air from the downstairs plus winterized the three office windows with insulation and plastic in hopes to keep the office computer from shutting down during the upcoming winter months.
On Monday, October 27 reported to district office for updates including option #9 local AA events and information. Attended the monthly GSR meeting at 6 p.m.
The District 17 Office has 900_meeting cards in drawer.
The 0900 AA Hotline registered _68_ hits this past month including calls from both Super 8 Motel and Budget Host Inn.
The District website recorded 121 hits this past month with the counter at 9,265 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. Email to:
