I propose with the small balance that we hold off until next quarter, 6/30/23

However, we need to re-visit proportions of distributions.

Our standard in the past has been:

· 60% District

· 30% Area 11

· 10% GSO

Quarters ending September and December 2022:

· 60% District

· 20% Area 11

· 20% GSO

Need decision on proportions to distribute going forward
