10/14/99 South Austin Chapter Meeting minutes

 

 

The meeting was held at New Hope Church.  Two SAC officers and one NAC officer were present (three total participants).  The video “Take ‘em 3” was not shown due to the fact that New Hope's VCR had been stolen.  The proposition and proposals that were approved at the 10/7/99 NAC meeting were discussed and votes were taken.  Proposition 1 stated: “The FCS bylaw regarding membership dues and benefits (section III) should be amended to read that the annual membership due is $12.00.  January is the Club’s annual renewal month.  This would eliminate the ‘Memberships will be pro-rated’ clause.”  For - 2, Against – 0, Abstain – 0.  The proposition passed and will be implemented on 1/1/2000.  The first proposal was to eliminate the following statement from the “Our Purpose” section of the FCS brochure: “To minister to needs that arise in our membership and communities.”  This proposal was made due to the fact that the Club has not had an official service project since early 1996.  For - 0, Against – 2, Abstain – 0.  The proposal failed.  Editors note: according to by FCS Bylaws, Section VI E. “Actions or amendment proposals that are not approved by all of the Club's chapters will be addressed at a meeting of the officers from all the Club's chapters.  If a compromise is achieved, the revised action or amendment proposal must then be presented to the members of the individual chapters for approval.  If a compromise cannot be reached a majority vote of the entire Club membership carries.”  The next joint meeting where the officers can meet will be on 1/7 – 1/9/2000 at the Winter Dove Retreat.  The second proposal was to eliminate the practice of charging a “non-member fee” at FCS Dove Retreats.  This was agreed upon in April of 1997 but never implemented.  For - 2, Against – 0, Abstain – 0.  The proposal passed and is immediately eliminated.  The third proposal was to add/change the following events to the FCS calendar: add SAC Meetings on 10/14/99 and 12/9/99, change the 11/4/99 SAC meeting to 11/11/99, change the next Quarterly Shotgun Shoot from 11/20/99 to 11/6/99, and add Paintball at Texas Paintball on 12/11/99 (9:00 A.M. – 1:00 P.M.).  For - 2, Against – 0, Abstain – 0.  The proposal passed.  The events are added/changed.
