Review Minutes from Previous Meeting

Updates from Service Representatives

·         Treasurer (Alice):  Reported better income.  $200 higher contributions in basket.  This is due to the increased announcements, but now we should hold off on announcements until the need arises again.  Childcare donation is also up because of Kathy’s announcements.  Expenses this month are low with the exception of the picnic.  The $465 amount TMR is reflective a buying chips, not coffee although it falls within that category.

·         Childcare Coordinator (Kathy) – Not present

·         Chips (Yvonne) – Not present

·         Coffee Coordinator (Margaret) – Not present but represented by proxy by Don.

·         Grapevine Representative (Betty) – Not present

·         Greeter Coordinator (Tom C) – Need to announce open positions more.  Specifically the open position of Greeter Coordinator.

·         Inter-Group Representative (Bob) – Not present, but according to Bob’s message to Dana, no updates.

·         Literature Representative (Bill) – The group discussed the need to replenish the pamphlet supply on a more regular basis.  Brad is the new Public Information Person and is generating meeting lists to area hotels and getting the word out to sororitites and fraternaties.

·         Night Watch Coordinator (Scott) – Not present

·         Phone List Coordinator (Jack) – Updated the list recently.  Usually update every three weeks or so.

·         Public Information (Brad) – Not present

·         Secretary (Mary) – Present, but nothing to report.  Will work with Don to get up to speed on job description.

·         Speaker Seeker (Scott E) – Not present

·         Web Coordinator (Don) – Would like to find someone to take this position and alt GSR position.  With all the other service work Don is committed to, it is difficult to juggle these two responsibilities as well.  Don will create a job description for both and Dana will add these to the announcements.  There was also discussion about how to maintain the BEO website once Don officially resigns.  Don currently has this listed in his personal name.

·         BOG Representative (Open)

·         Alternate GSR (Don) – See above.

·         GSR (Dana) – Dana was out of town and did not attend the recent meeting.  Discussed if it was necessary to combine the Chair and GSR position.  Also discussed the benefits of having Board experience to holding the GSR (or like) position (s).
