How It Works Group – Seth H.
Balance was provided to the District. Things are going steady for the group and attendance is good on all the nights.

Lincoln Foxhall Group – Sheila H.
The Foxhall group is a weekly speaker. The speakers this last month were amazing and attendance is pretty steady. The group is in the process of sending in the contribution to District 3.

Sunday Noonish Group– Debbie C.
Balance was provided to the District. There was some discussion in the group about moving the meeting, but that has been tabled. Since then, the group has seen an average of 19-22 people attend the group and is continuing to move forward with momentum.

60 Minutes Group – Bob M. (gave a report)
Balance was not available to provide to the District, but stated that the group has been below the prudent reserve for about 4-5 months now. The current GSR has resigned. There is the same amount of people in attendance, which is a good thing.
