Annual Business Meeting

Northwest Presbyterian Church

 

Paul called the Annual Business Meeting to order at 6:52 p.m. 

 

Treasurer’s report was presented by Paul in Steve’s absence.  Approved on motion from Dianne Harrop and second by Denise Bentley.

 

Paul announced the costs of the upcoming weekends.

 

NLS is coming up in July.  The Magnificent 7 (now actually 8) are looking to host in 2008 or 2009.  Each Secretariat needs to put up about $3,000 for start-up funds.  We will be collecting money for that separately from weekend fees.

 

Paul announced our 25th anniversary is coming up and we plan to host the Grand Ultreya in January.  At this time we will also discuss hosting a future NLS.

 

Paul thanked those leaving office this term – Mary Ashcraft, Asst Lay Director; A.J. and Angie Waldauer, Pre-VdC; Wayne and Nancy Baker, Outreach; Bob Burford, Physical Arrangements; Ron and Kristen Beiler, Local Palance; Bob Dinnerville, At-Large; and, Skip Young, Extended Palanca. 

 

Paul announced that the position of Pre-VdC was open and that someone could volunteer for the position for this year and then be elected at next year’s business meeting.  If nobody volunteered it would be handled by the At-Large members.

 

Paul then announced the new slate of officers for 2007-2008 – Paul Sabatier-Smith, Lay Director; Debbie Alexander, Asst. Lay Director; Billi Ott, Secretary; Steve Shade, Treasurer; Karen Emerson, Post Via de Cristo; Charlie Tucker, Communications; Dennis Galbreath, Outreach; Darwin Reedy, Leaders; Chuck Ott, Physical Arrangements; Chris Klafs, Purchasing Agent; Carole Moskowitz, Extended Palanca; Jerry Lindsay, At-Large; and, Kaiwa Miller, At-Large.  Secretariat approved the ballot at their meeting.  Ballot was approved for acceptance by acclamation by motion from Linda Price and second from Martha McMillan.  Bob Bellinger called for question.  Approved.
