Closing a Home Group

My home group was a Saturday night speaker meeting in a large metropolitan city where there are hundreds of meetings each week. Although my group was an old one (nearly thirty years old), it had never been very large. Then when the founder died with over forty-six years sober, attendance really fell off. Regulars stopped coming for one reason or another, others simply thought the group had died with its founder. Three of us got together and made a commitment to keep the group going. But by the end of a year, no one new had joined, and my two companions had moved out of the area.
