Dayton Saturday Night Special Lou, GSR – present – report below

My name is Lou and I am an addict. This is the May GSR report for the Dayton Saturday Night Special Group of NA. We are one group with three meetings, the Saturday meeting which is held at 6pm, the Tuesday night Bare Bones Book Study at 6:30 pm and the Thursday night Elevator meeting at 6:30 pm. I was not able to attend our business meeting but as far as I know the Saturday night meeting is doing okay, not sure about the Thursday night meeting but the Tuesday meeting is still looking for a permanent secretary and is in need of participation. We have someone that will take the meeting for the month of June and we’re hoping to find a secretary during that time. I have a $29.40 donation for area and this is for the first quarter of the year ending in March.

Thank you for allowing me to be of service.

Hotline– Lou – present – written report

My name is Lou and I am an addict. I am also your Hotline Chair. I attended the workshop on May 28th and Chris did a great job on the presentation. We’re looking forward to our next one. The only other thing I need to report is that Chris and I spent $86 on printing. I know this is more than we originally asked for but the packets wound up being larger than we thought and we have enough material left over to do more workshops. So I am asking to be reimbursed the $86.

Thank you everyone that attended the workshop and everyone that is involved in the Helpline. Thank you for your service.
