Christmas Mailing

It's hard to believe that we have to finish our Christmas mailing and have it out the door by the end of Oct. A lot of the posts don't have December meeting so we have to get the mailing to them before their November meetings for discussion. We are sending out app 2,300 pieces. Each mailing will contain a Christmas card and an annual report. The format this year is different and very creative. Nicely done by our volunteer Gert.

Where does the time go?

We finished our build out over the spring and now have a capacity of 121 beds. Our current census is 105 or so. Some come and some go and some stay. So goes the disease of alcoholism and drug addiction. If a guy hears one thing he doesn't forget it may make a big difference in his life.

I am still doing the Wed night Spiritual Meeting. I don't know if it helps the guys in treatment but it certainly helps me. I have had to really look at my spiritual life and where I'm at in my program.

The Valley Forge Raffle drawing is on the 22nd of Oct - someone will win a nice trip to NYC.

All for now. I need to post here more often.
