       The financial report then submitted by District 17 treasurer Sharon for review.  A question was brought forth on why is the current balance so high?  Is this typical for a District balance?  DCM Bill explained that this has been rare for District 17, but now on par for what a District balance should be.  It has to be understood that the District expenditures over a course of one year are well over one thousand dollars.  The AA Groups of District 17 have been superb in making contributions to the District.  The past success of the Fall Conference was a huge added help in solidifying the District.  A motion was made to accept the financial statement as is and passed.
