Quarterly Business Meeting

1/24/10

Time:  7:15 pm

Meeting was opened with a prayer (Jill)

Members in attendance were:  Cabot Eudaley, Jill Eudaley, Karen Allen, Tom Allen, Beth Challis, Jeralie Scanlan, Jerry Pando, Bibi Morales, Barbara Hester, Veldon Morrow, Charlene Morrow, and Terry Jackson.

Minutes were read and a clarification was made (Jerry) to the minutes from previous meeting that his endorsement was for David Holt's Publication:  Golden Gate Bulletin (on socadmin).

Motion was made to accept minutes as amended.  It was approved by vote.

TDA report:  (Barbara and Beth):  Beth reported that TDA met last July before Summer Session and the main objective was to elect officers.  There were 10 slots open out of a total of 36.  New members were elected to council.  Term limits were proposed by 3 or 4 members (including our society).  After hearing some discussion, Beth voted against having term limits because member's experience (such as John Hale council member since 1963) would be lost.  Term limits proposal did not pass.

Promotions:  Veldon (and committee consisting of Bibi and Jerry) brought Spanish and English UBs to Capital Hill Library (located S.W.26th St.) and they were openly received by the staff. Jerry has library system Placement officer's name.  Terry added a UB listing to the Bethany Tribune.

President's report:  Cabot states that we now have 3 meetings in tact and we receive steady updates on the progress of these meetings on our website (weekly or bimonthly).  Cabot will ask Michael for an icon.

Tom offers Cabot, Karen's spot in a Study Group Leader's meeting which will take place in June in Chicago. Jeff Wattles will be conducting the meeting.

Social Activity Report:  Bibi reports that the Christmas party went well and everyone confirmed this with applause to Bibi for all her hard efforts.  She asked for any ideas or suggestions for future social gatherings.  Veldon hosted the New Year's Party at his home and it was well received by those in attendance. 

New Business:  Spanish outreach -(Jerry) we can get copies from Augustine $1.25 to print (in Columbia) each and they would cost $1.87 in Miami.  Pamphlet is less expensive to print.

Post Cards:  example was presented by Cabot to overall approval.  Charlene will have them printed.

Jerry announced that he has asked Michelle Klimesh to a conference that 19-21st of August titled "Urantia United" and the site will tentatively be Bogota.  It will be organized by local Columbian members.  There has been no response yet from Michelle.  Some of the activities will include a band Friday and salsa dancing, Saturday brunch at Jerry's newly remodeled home in Bogota.

Jesus' birthday is on a weekend this year so it was proposed that we have a social gathering on Friday (the 20th), a speaker on Saturday, and family class on Sunday.  Barbara announced that she has an idea for a speaker that will be revealed at a later date.

Barbara spoke about a side project (a power point project in February) and is requesting ideas and help with that from anyone who has skills in the areas of music, computers, etc.

Next Meeting Date:  Annual Business Meeting:  Sunday, March 28th, at 3:00pm at the Eudaley's.
