The topic at present is disbursement of funds over prudent reserve. We are currently in Business Meeting #2 (out of 3 meetings total) to discuss this. We have all month to discuss it further, and then, if there is a consensus, we will vote on it in the month of June, not in April.

A brief Summary of the topics:

  1. Previous Business Meetings already approved Newcomers Packets. We are investigating to find the status of whatever supplies are left. Some of those working on this left ASP without notice and so we are regrouping. A committee may be formed to work on new Packets.
  2. Incorporation has already been approved, and Steve has made progress on this. It will be under the $500 originally estimated.
  3. Our Treasurer, Anne, will give us an update on finances.
  4. There was support for giving 50% over prudent reserve to the World Service Organization.
