  9. Imagine…. • Scenario: Region XYZ has 360 meetings per month with an average home group attendance of ten members. If for one week per month each of the home group members put one extra dollar in the basket. That is $10/month/group= $120/year/group=$43,200/year extra for your region.

  10. Consider • 250 members give $10 per month to ASC or RSC for twelve months that equals $30,000 • Assume 20,000 addicts present at WCNA 34 from US and Canada. Presume that only 20% of members from US and Canada with over a clean attended then we can project 100,000 members in those countries. If every one of them (us) donated $1 a month for one year that = $1,200, 000. Would you miss $1 a month?
