Webmaster/Coordinator Report:
Because of other monthly commitments I was unable
to get over to the District 17 Office during the past month. When I
entered the District Office I knew something was wrong. The phone was
ringing and no answer was picked up.
On Tuesday, September 28
updated the website and the 0900 Hotline option #9 before the monthly
meeting. Added monthly newsletter to website, corrected the officer
listing page on website, changed AA meeting time for Tuesday, 5:45 p.m.
to 6 p.m. The option #9 of the 0900 AA Hotline was updated with next
Traveling
Intergroup info, the next monthly GSR meeting on
October 26, 2010,
and the Area74 Fall Assembly date. The option #4 Thursday listing of
meetings was updated.
In the District Office checked on meeting cards in drawer, the # of hits
on website, and the # of hits to the 0900 AA Hotline
The District 17 Office has _____1,600_____ meeting cards in
drawer.
The 0900 AA Hotline ___0____ hits. The computer had apparently shut
down for some unexplained reason, and so when I arrived the 0900 AA
Hotline didn't answer any calls for the entire month. Anyone trying to
call received a no answer.
The District website __56____ hits the past month. mailto:
dcm@district17a74.org.
On Friday, October 1, 2010 will report to the District Office to update
the option #8 live contact numbers for the next three months.
As for coffee, sugar, creamer, cups, etc., does the committee still want
to make coffee for the monthly meeting? Does the Intergroup have these
items stored in the District 17 Office for this particular use?
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 p.m. at District 17 Office in Kingsford.
Living my life 1-day at a time,
Cliff W. (Webmaster/coordinator, District17)
