GSR Reports:
LPG
Meetings going well with newcomers. Starting a service workshop prior to their business meeting to learn service and read literature. Had 19th birthday and was a good event, and we have a donation to the area.
Going well 20 addicts on average. Topics include JFT, step study and traditions.
Hope Not Dope
Meetings going well. Two meetings on Christmas eve. Thanksgiving potluck held and had lots of fun, and possibly hosting a Christmas day gathering. GC on meeting cards and decided to sign at the end of the meeting. Decided that no clean time required on the phone lists and will soon donate to each level of service.
Looking to start a meeting in Thayne on Monday. Will also be doing some PR with the probation and parole. Want to host an area meeting in the summer and have a campout.
Walking Through the Pain Group Kemmerer
Report to Area:
The Group is continuing along well. There is limited attendance, 1 to 4 people a week. We meet Tuesday and Friday @ 7:00 p.m. every week @ the Episcopal Church on Cedar and Elm streets. We have brought literature into Lincoln County Jail. We have had some great participation with the N/A format the last three Monday meetings. We did receive some basic pamphlets for these meetings. The group would like to request $75.00 of H&I funding to buy some more material for Lincoln County Jail meetings.
I am unable to attend do to my shift schedule at work.
Thank you
