In May, we cut the percentage of what we send to the Central Office in order to free up money for some outreach. Our projects, however, are already increasing our returns. The increase enclosed reflects the increase in attendance on the last week in June. This is because that meeting was the first of the “All Groups SA Unity Speakers Meetings” we’ve begun for the last Saturday of the month.
Other groups from the area are invited to sponsor a meeting. Last Saturday we had four speakers from Alhambra. The Alhambra meeting brought a contingency of about 10. Attendees from other meetings brought our normal attendance of about 30 up to 55. This first “All Groups Meeting” was a great success. The North Hollywood meeting will be sponsoring the last Saturday of July.
Though our mailing has not yet gotten off the ground due to hassles in procuring mailing lists of psychologists, therapists and ministers, we expect to be launching that project soon. Over time it should bring many newcomers.

A recent Day of Inventory at a local retreat ranch brought to mind things we have been doing well, and things we could do better. Attendance has shot back up into the double digits at all three of our weekly meetings, and newcomers are guaranteed a sponsor as soon as they enter the program. Much more remains to be done — all in God’s time.
