WESTERN AREA RALLY -
JAN.14, 2005
The Roamin’ Catholics Southwest rally meeting was called to
order at
The first order of business was the approval of the last meeting’s minutes. The secretary suggested that due to the limited time allocated for this meeting, and due to the fact that the minutes had been posted on the website, we could dispense with the reading and go right to additions and or corrections, if any. There were none, so Barlow Thompson made the motion to accept the minutes as posted. The motion was seconded and all agreed to accept.
The president then asked for the treasurer’s report. The treasurer read the complete report which is summarized below:
Balance on hand as of Dec.31, ’04 = $325.40
Incoming monies = 171.00
Total = 496.40
Minus Outgoing monies = 117.40
Ending balance as of Jan.14, ’05 = 379.00
Phyllis Barlow made the motion to give Father Carney an additional $100.00 towards his expenses coming to this rally all the way from WA State to celebrate mass for us. It was seconded and all voted in favor.
(The secretary’s minutes and the treasurer’s report were displayed on a table for all to see at the end of the meeting and mass.)
There was a discussion on the success of our first pot-luck dinner dispite the time limitations due to the scheduling of three dinners in succession. What might we do to insure that next year’s dinner be a success also, without being hurried. We might try changing the day, the time, or the place. Several suggestions were made, but the consensus was that whatever we decide to try, in order for it to be adopted by those who schedule the events, we need to give them early input.
Helen then asked that we attend to the next important matter of business of nominating and electing a new Vice President. She explained for those who were not present at the last meeting that our Vice President Barlow Thompson, had then said he would like to step down from the position. Barlow then explained his reasons for this move. He felt that he would be unable to follow Helen as president in another year, if and when she stepped down as president when her two year term was up. He cited other commitments that might conflict with what constitutes being an FMCA VP.
Helen asked if there was anyone who would like to be VP. Gen Kessler acknowledged that she would like the position, but wondered if with all her extensive travel, she could be effective. Discussion followed regarding the fact that we all were to some extent, “on the go” but, that with the help of telephones and computers, every one felt that it probably wouldn’t be a detriment.
Phyllis Thompson then nominated Gen Kessler for the position of Vice President. It was seconded and unanimously approved.
Next, Helen told that it is important for a chapter to hold
at least two rallies a year. She told of
our successful rallies at
Many people began arriving for the mass that was to begin shortly. Helen explained to them that this meeting was for the newly formed chapter of Roamin’ Catholics Southwest. She explained our purpose, area and scope. She invited anyone interested to pick up an application or to stay after the mass and talk to any member. ____ from the newly forming Rocky Mountain Area of Roamin’ Catholics, said he would also be there after mass to take applications for his area.
The meeting was adjourned at
