They are indeed working on filling positions. They do have one candlelit meeting and there meeting is located between two bars….LOL they are having eight meetings a week.

 

Sharing Session:

 

Our Chair, Jeanne opened a sharing session in which a few topics were discussed. We discussed insurance, Serenity Seekers for next year in Sheridan, Planning a campout 3rd weekend in June for next year and more I could not even keep up. The sharing time is a nice time for all of us to just chat about things. No voting and no worries about protocol. There was even discussion about a Terrorist Threat in July. I will try harder to keep better notes during this time.

 

Elections:

 

          Treasurer:              Non Applied…RCMs need to take this to their area’s to see if anyone would like to be                        a treasurer

 

          Web Servant:         Richard M and Mary G both applied for this position, it was decided that at this time                      we were going to let Steve H. continue to do the website at this time.

                                      RCMs  still need to ask area if anyone wants to be in this position.

 

Special Election:

 

Chair:                    A special Election was needed for our Chair Kate E. was no longer able to be the chair for the URMARC. There was a unanimous vote to allow Jeanne S. to become the Chair.

 

Vice Chair:            RCMs need to take this to their area’s to see if anyone wants to be the Vice Chair.

 

Secretary:              Do to the issue of no minutes last Quarter it was decided that a new secretary was needed. Bill G volunteered to be the secretary and was voted in.

 

                             Note: Each person that either Volunteered for a position or was nominated for a position was given an opportunity to give their qualifications and their desires as to why they wanted this position. This will be in the archives in my hand written notes.

 

Old Business:

 

Regional Website: Since the meeting we have some good news. The website

                             is up and running. The new website address is

                             www.urmrna.org

                             happy looking at the website.

 

Liability Insurance: Insurance was discussed and decided to be brought up in New Business

Liability Insurance: No special event is needed. This insurance would cover every meeting in the region. Rick H. has become the AD Hock Chair, if you have any questions you can contact Rick. rickhouts@yahoo.com  or 307-679-7686

 

 

 

Tax ID# :              Is there a reason we do not have one? If we go to www.na.org we can get some info there, also bulletin # 32. It was decided to carry this conversation over to November.
